Well, first off, why do you want to force a synch with the Design
Master? The DM should not be participating in regular production
editing and should not be synched as often as the replicas into
which data is being added/edited.
How to do a programmatic synch will depend on which type of synch
you are using. With DAO, it's very simple, and code is found
everywhere that shows how to do it:
Dim dbLocal As DAO.Database
Set dbLocal = DBEngine.OpenDatabase([local replica])
dbLocal.Synchronize [remote replica]
dbLocal.Close
Set dbLocal = Nothing
For indirect, it's substantially more complicated, because there are
a lot more dependencies.
But for direct (i.e., on a LAN), it's really *very* simple.
