SUMMARY
Using DAO 3.5, a Visual Basic application can synchronize Jet databases
over the Internet. The purpose of this article is to discuss other required
components and to point to references not included in Visual Basic Help or
Visual Basic Books Online.
MORE INFORMATION
In addition to DAO 3.5 (discussed in the Visual Basic Help and Visual Basic
Books Online), the Replication Manager and Internet Information (IIS)
Server are also required to synchronize Jet databases over the Internet.
The Replication Manager is a component that is only available with
Microsoft Office 97, Developer's Edition. It must be configured along with
IIS in order for Internet synchronization to occur.
The references below contain complete information on configuring the
Replication Manager and IIS for Internet synchronization and replication.
