On a computer with a single replica can multiple people use this same replica. Either in between synchronisation or at the same time?

That answer assumes several things, though: 1. the app is split, with only the back end data tables being replicated (each user would have their own copy of the non-replicated front end). 2. memo fields are edited unbound, so that the risk of corruption during a synch is minimized. -- David W.

Is the data changes in a single replica identified by user? Do you know of any MSDN articles about how the replication changes are stored? On 23 May, 22:31, "David W.

No, unless you actually include data in the records that indicate which user updated them. > Do you know of any MSDN articles about how the replication changes > are stored? I don't understand the question. What do you mean by "how the replication changes are stored"? They *aren't* stored. Each replica includes the data in the state it was left at the last edit. Now, the generations are kept track of, and the lineage of the updates is tracked, but this is not exposed to the user or programmer. -- David W.
