What do you mean by sync? You can use linked tables in Access and create
some sort of script to copy data. You can also set up a DTS package (SQL
2000) to export data to an MDB file and schedule it.

I don't personally know of any automated way to do that built into Access or
SQL. I can imagine a custom app to do it wouldn't be that difficult to
build though. Maybe someone else will respond with an answer closer to what
you are looking for. Sorry...

In SQL 2000 you can replication to access using transactional or merge
replication. Follow the instructions on how to set this up in the link to
my book in the sig. The instructions are in the sample chapter.

Hi

Is it possible to reliably sync an access db with its equivalent sql server
db using the built-in facilities of sql server and access?

Thanks

Sorry I meant replication. Something that can update data in both directions
periodically, automatically if possible.

Thanks

Regards
