Access replication

[OTWarrior]

I have just stumbled upon this:

http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/access-help/create-a-replicated-database-mdb-HP003069833.aspx

Which talks about replicating an Access Database than using a Frontend/backend system.

Has anyone here used this? If so are there any benefits/problems with using this as a system?

I am hoping it would be faster as I am assuming it would bring the data locally, but I am cautious about unique ID's being duplicated across different copies (replicas) of the database being used.

Your poll question requires a Yes or No answer. There is no provision for "it depends".

If you haven't already found it, you may appreciate this link to David Fenton's Jet Replication Wiki.

Replication can work very well, especially when it comes to having to update the code in the parent for error fixing. As for performance... I have no idea.
