ACC: System Tables and Conflict Tables Are Not Replicable

ID: Q141042

The information in this article applies to:

SYMPTOMS

Novice: Requires knowledge of the user interface on single-user computers.

In Microsoft Access 7.0 and 97, system tables and conflict tables (tables that contain database records that conflicted during the synchronization of two replicas) may not be made replicable by Microsoft Access. The reason for this is that system tables are created for each database upon creation (replication).

NOTE: Although you can create a replica of a system table using Visual Basic for Applications code. It is not recommended.


STATUS

This behavior is by design.
