SUMMARY
=======

Using DAO 3.5, a Visual Basic application can synchronize Jet databases over the
Internet. The purpose of this article is to discuss other required components
and to point to references not included in Visual Basic Help or Visual Basic
Books Online.

MORE INFORMATION
================

In addition to DAO 3.5 (discussed in the Visual Basic Help and Visual Basic
Books Online), the Replication Manager and Internet Information (IIS) Server are
also required to synchronize Jet databases over the Internet.

The Replication Manager is a component that is only available with Microsoft
Office 97, Developer's Edition. It must be configured along with IIS in order
for Internet synchronization to occur.

The references below contain complete information on configuring the Replication
Manager and IIS for Internet synchronization and replication.
