Hi there, im running in to some major problems with this Replication crap in
Access.

So we had a corrupt db and I recreated it in to the common drive. When I go
to the VBE in the common drive and open the immediate window and type in the
code

?Application.CurrentDb.Name

It works perfectly. But when I replicate that db to my desktop... then
recover the Design Master to make the copy on my desktop the design master...
I then do the same thing and type the code in to the immediate window and I
get

Invalid Data Format

I've done this twice and its happened both times now.

Does any one have a clue in what could be wrong?

I don't have a clue what you're doing.

Why are you recovering the DM when you copy it to the desktop? This
will break replication, since you can't have more than one DM in a
replica set.

Do you *need* replication? Why are you using it? If you *do* need
it, then you need to use it properly, and from what you've posted,
it sounds like you're abusing it terribly.
