SYMPTOMS
In Microsoft Access 7.0 and 97, system tables and conflict tables (tables that contain database records that conflicted during the synchronization of two replicas) may not be made replicable by Microsoft Access. The reason for this is that system tables are created for each database upon creation (replication).

NOTE: Although you can create a replica of a system table using Visual Basic for Applications code. It is not recommended.



STATUS
This behavior is by design.



Steps to Reproduce Behavior

 * 1) Open the sample database Northwind.mdb.
 * 2) On the Tools menu, click Options, and in the Options dialog box, click the View tab.
 * 3) Under Show, click the System Objects check box, and then click OK.
 * 4) In the Database window, click the Tables tab. Using the right mouse button (right-click), click one of the system tables (those preceded with "MSys"), and then click Properties on the menu that appears. Note that the Replicable check box (or Replicated check box in Microsoft Access 7.0) is not available.
