HOW sync local/web databases (and w image-paths contained)

NewbiedoobiUUUH, I have a database with 10 images(paths) per record contained. The simple import export (partly covering case A and B but not C) from access97 works easily (with access2000 only partly doing it). Problem 1: Importing/exporting does not copy any of the image-files (which paths are contained in the records). Is there any tool or trick to automate the synchronization Problem 2: In case C I think all queries changing either copy have to be stored and executed on both copies to keep them identical. HOW can I better synchronize the local and remote copy? Is there any sample how this could be done or can anybody point me a way how to? Case A: Changes happen only on the local copy Case B: Changes happen on the remote copy only Case C: Changes happen on both copies Database setup: - local = msaccess97 or 2000 database on w2k - remote = mysql-database on unix/apache Any advice is greatly welcome Helmut
