Hi there,

Suppose I have a server at the office which is a publisher and a few
laptops with subcribers (Merge replication). If the users of the laptops
need to go on the road to do some work and would like to be able to
synchronize their changes with each other before coming back to the office,
will they be able to do that? What would be the topology for that?

Will they have to subscribe to each other in addition to the server,
therefore being publishers themselves? Will that be allowed?

What would be the easiest way to implement that?

Also, am I right in assuming this scenario would be work with MSDE since
it can only subscribe and not publish?

Thank you - Maer

Maer,
have a look in BOL for alternative synchronization partners - this should be
appropriate for you.
HTH,
