Makes a new replica from another database replica (Microsoft Jet workspaces only).
Syntax
VOIDMakeReplica(LPCTSTR pstrPath,
LPCTSTR pstrDescription,
LONG lOptions = -1);
Parameters
| Type | Argument | Description |
| LPCTSTR | pstrPath | A pointer to a string that contains the path and file name of the new replica. If the replica is an existing file name, then an error occurs. |
| LPCTSTR | pstrDescription | A pointer to a string that describes the replica you are creating. |
| LONG | lOptions | Optional. A constant or combination of constants that specifies characteristics of the replica you are creating, as specified in Settings. |
Settings
You can use one or more of the following constants for lOptions.
| Constant | Description |
| dbRepMakePartial | Creates a partial replica. |
| dbRepMakeReadOnly | Prevents users from modifying the replicable objects of the new replica; however, when you synchronize the new replica with another member of the replica set, design and data changes will be propagated to the new replica. |
Remarks
A newly created partial replica will have all ReplicaFilter properties set to False, meaning that no data will be in the tables.
