I'm assuming that you are not using the built-in replication tool. In your
shoes, I'd use replication as it would better automate the synchronization
process.

How do I change it to pick the newer record not the older one?

Thank you for replying. Yes, I think I am using the built-in replication
tool. I go to Tools, Replication, Synchronize Now & it synchronizes the
databases. After its successfully synchronized, then it shows the conflicts.
However, it seems that Access always picks the older version of the record
that was updated as the conflict winner not the most recent which is always
what I want.
