Hi there,

Im looking on ideas for this scenario..
I have a SQL 7.0 db that resides on a web server. This database grabs info from web users who update account information. This database gets exported as a delminated file to a clients local system for import into their offline database and updating of records.

The online database on the server also needs to import a deleminated data file from the local database on a daily basis.

So you can see I have a scenario with 2 way replication. What would be the best way to achieve this so that only the latest data gets updated on either server? would I use a timestamp and the identity column to distinguish which update has priority?

Any ideas on the best solution would be appreciated.

thanks - matt
