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.
