| You can have a Pull subscription automatically be entered into the built in 'syncronize' applet of Windows (off the accessories menu) - this is an option when you set up the publication & subscription. Then you just use that applet - not the command line. Its quite straightforward.You can also easily add a "Replicate Now" button inside your app (if you have one) via the ActiveX controls provided with replication for exactly this purpose. (The syncronize applet fact uses this control.)If you have an old versions of Windows and don't have the 'syncronize' applet, you can get it by installing the offline addons in the Internet Explorer download/setup. I believe its already there in WinMe, Win2000 and certainly in WinXP. |
