I think I have made a big mistake,I recently finished some forms and because this was my first experience with access I replicated the file, Dont ask me why, I just thought it seemed like a good thing to do at the time. I need to edit the file now and I understand I can only edit the Design Master, my problem is the file was replicated onto a computer at work and I am now working at home so I cant syncronise to get to the design master, and to make things worse the repilcated file at work has been deleted. Because my understanding of replication is sketchy at best I have no idea what to do now. Is it possible to unreplicate? I have a back up file in the folder which was automatically made when I replicated but I have had several unsuccessful attempts to restore it. I have lost count of the hours I have invested in this work, have I lost it all! Any help gratefully received

I believe you should be be able to make your replicated copy the design master. If you go to Tools>Replication>Synchronize, I think there is a checkbox to "make this copy the design master"
