The new approach and flexibility particular to replication offered by WebTechManagement can be illustrated by the development of a simple application. Imagine that a client has asked you to develop a contact management application that the company's field sales staff can use to monitor sales and orders.

Each sales representative has a laptop computer that can be connected to the company's network.

A traditional approach to building this application is to separate tables from other objects in the database so that the data can reside on a network server while the queries, forms, reports, macros, and modules reside on the user's computer. When sales representatives want to retrieve or update information in the database, they each log onto the network, open a ContactForm database on the computer, and open the ContactData database from the server.

Database replication enables you to adopt a new approach to building this application by creating a single database that contains both the data and objects, and then making replicas of the database for each sales representative. Or you can use attached tables and replicate the data database and application database separately. You can make replicas on each user's computer and synchronize each replica with the replica on a network server. Sales representatives update the replicas on their computers during the course of a work session, and you synchronize their replicas with the replica on the server as needed. You can also create a set of local objects such as tables, forms, or reports that are used at only one replica location.
