I have working application between multiple users, pc and laptops, all in MDE 
 
form to protect original code.  All replicated with design master. 
 
Everything works well.  My question is how to make minor changes to the 
 
replicated database.  I can change queries and tables in the design master 
 
and replication is automatic with the next sync.  Currently changes made to 
 
forms and reports require copying data into non-mde, creating new mde, 
 
replicating and replacing each database.  What is the better way?

Since you're dealing with MDEs, you have no choice but to continue doing 
 
what you're currently doing. Even if you were dealing with MDBs, though, 
 
you shouldn't be replicating the application portion of the database (i.e. 
 
forms, reports, macros and modules). Replication is only intended for data. 
 
You might find the Auto FE Update Tony Toews has for free at
