Returns a 16-byte value that uniquely identifies a database replica (Microsoft Access workspaces only).
Syntax
expression .ReplicaID
expression A variable that represents a Database object.
Remarks
The return value is a GUID value that uniquely identifies the replica or Design Master.
The Microsoft Access database engine automatically generates this value when you create a new replica.
The ReplicaID property of each replica (and the Design Master) is stored in the MSysReplicas system table.
Example
This example makes a replica from the Design Master of Northwind.mdb, and then returns the replica's ReplicaID, which is automatically created by the Microsoft Access database engine. (If you have not yet created a Design Master of Northwind, refer to the Replicable property, or change the name of the database in the code to an existing Design Master.)
Sub MakeReplicaReplicaIDX()
Dim dbsNorthwind As Database
Dim prpReplicaID As Property
Dim dbsReplica As Database
Set dbsNorthwind = OpenDatabase("Northwind.mdb")
' Makes a new replica.
dbsNorthwind.MakeReplica "Nwreplica2.mdb", _
"second replica"
dbsNorthwind.Close
' Opens the new replica to read its ReplicaID.
Set dbsReplica = OpenDatabase("Nwreplica2.mdb")
Debug.Print dbsReplica.ReplicaID
dbsReplica.Close
