Using replicated mdb on Access 2010

[wind54surfer]

Hi all,

I am an amateur programmer and made an .mde and .mdb (replicated) to run my small business, and 10 days ago lost my building/business, including computers and software (luckily I had my laptop off site).

I am pretty much forced to upgrade to A2010.

I bought a copy of A2010 to try and it seems to works ok, my plan is to leave the database on a main computer and share it in a folder with the other 6 computers.

The first problem is that I enter data off site and need to sync, I have read different posts with conflicting ideas regarding A2010 and using Replication Manager, would like to do away with Replication Manager, is there another way to accomplish this.

Also is there a problem to have many users share a replicated .mdb on A2010, should I remove the replication? (big job, I rather leave alone)

Last question, providing I don’t make any design changes in A2010, is it completely safe to run the A2003 .mde and .mdb on A2010?

I appreciate any help on this.
