No, they are not the same. They have the same data and the same 
 
design, but as soon as they are opened, they are no longer 
 
identical, because each will get a new, unique ReplicaID. 
 
Eh? 
 
A ReplicaID is a GUID, which, as the name implies, is globally 
 
unique. It is calculated from machine-specific data and from the 
 
time it is created and cannot collide with another GUID generated 
 
elsewhere. 
 
The assignment of ReplicaIDs is not something you can control, and 
 
it's not something you should worry about. 
 
What you've done so far is just fine. Now you have to figure out how 
 
to synch between the replicas, in-place. That means indirect 
 
replication, as only a LAN is sufficiently fast and reliable to 
 
support direct replication (i.e., the kind of replication you get 
 
from the Access user interface).

The best synch method depends on the connection present. If all 
 
replicas are accessible to each other over a LAN, or if you only 
 
want to synch when connected to a LAN, direct replication will work. 
 
If you need to synch over dialup, over the Internet, over a wireless 
 
connection or over a WAN, then you need to use indirect replication. 
 
Replication manager is not really an end-user tool, in my opinion. I 
 
would program the synch into the user application so that the users 
 
only have to click a button or choose something from a menu.
