RE: Best DataBase software?
I think SQL server would be fine. But I would however plan in the future for a dedicated database server at the very least. This should deal with any types of performance issues as the db grows. To deal with some of your replication issues I would recommend setting up a portion of your site that is like an admin area where field personnell can access and update certain information in real time. Thus your other offices will have the most up to date information as possible.

Re: Best DataBase software?
Sounds like a good question for the sql server lists: www.swynk.com SQL7 and MSDE on the laptops might be workable. Im not familiar with 2 way replication scheme's so the best place to ask would be sql7 list on ww.swynk.com hth, Steve > Here is one for you all. > > I am running a new site and the database is currently Access97.
