I have a replicated Access 2003 Db. In the Design Master, called ‘MainData’, a new replica has appeared called ‘Fresh’. The replica Db actually does not exist, but is still listed in the replica set. I certainly didn’t create that replica. I have synchronized to this non-existent replica, which is supposed to remove it from the replica set, but it still persists. After that, I also renamed the other 2 (correct) replica Dbs and synchronised to them as well, hoping they would be removed too. Then I could start again and recreate the replicas I wanted. But none of the replicas have been removed from the replica set.
The design Master has also somehow become protected. I can’t access the ‘Startup’ dialog, nor can I open any forms in design mode. If I try to open a form in the Design Master, a dialog comes up saying “You can’t modify the design of ‘frmxyz’ at a replica. Design changes ….. can only be at the Design Master…”, yet I am in the Design Master! If I try to recover the Design Master, it tells me it is the current Design Master. Weird!!
How can I get the Design Master to realize it actually IS the Design Master?
How can I get rid of the unwanted replica ‘Fresh’?
How can I unprotect the Db? (Probably linked to the first question).
