• Let me see if I've understood this correctly:

    You have your touch screen devices with their own local ACCES DBs containing the three tables:

    ACCESS-DB-1

    ACCESS-DB-2

    and you have a SQL Server 2008 instance with a DB that has the same three tables.

    SQLSERVER-2K8

    To use SQL Server replication, your SQL Server instance will need to communicate with another SQL Server. Are you able to swap the ACCESS database with SQL Server compact edition?

    If this isn't an option then you will have to create your own custom replication. You will need to use timestamps on your records in the access database and have a scheduled job on the SQL Server instance that runs every 2 minutes to check for any record with a timestamp greater than the end time of the previous poll operation. Hope that makes sense.

    It takes a minimal capacity for rational thought to see that the corporate 'free press' is a structurally irrational and biased, and extremely violent, system of elite propaganda.

    Society has varying and conflicting interests; what is called objectivity is the disguise of one of these interests - that of neutrality. But neutrality is a fiction in an unneutral world. There are victims, there are executioners, and there are bystanders... and the 'objectivity' of the bystander calls for inaction while other heads fall.
