SUMMARY
=======

In Mastering Access Programming, Chapter 9: Database Replication, the
answer to question #6 in the Self-Check is wrong.

MORE INFORMATION
================

In Chapter 9: Database Replication, question #6 in the Self-Check
states:

   What is the term for when Microsoft Jet detects that the same
   record was changed at both members of the replica set?

giving the following as answer choices:

   - Design Error.

   - Design Conflict.

   - Synchronization Error <I: Synchronization errors occur when a
     data change at one replica set member cannot be applied to
     another member because it violates a constraint such as a
     referential integrity rule or uniqueness assertion.

   - Synchronization Conflict <C: Synchronization Conflict is the
     term for when Microsoft Jet detects that the same record was
     changed at both members of the replica set.

The program gives the correct answer as Synchronization Error.

The right answer is actually Synchronization Conflict.

This answer can be validated by going to the "Replication Issues" topic,
and then choosing "Synchronization Conflict" where the first paragraph
states:

Synchronization conflicts occur when Microsoft Jet detects that the same
record was changed at both members of the replica set. Even if the
changes made at one replica set member were in different fields than the
changes made at the other member, Microsoft Jet treats it as a
synchronization conflict.

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the products listed above.
