Default Yellow symbol next to the Access Objects in Navigation Pain

Hello,

It has been a while since I opened my database, but now all of the Access
Objects in the navigation pain have a small yellow symbol at the bottom right
corner. The yellow symbol has a red and green circular arrows inside. I
believe the problem may be related to a backup i tried onto a MS Briefcase
located on a ScanDisk Cruiser memory stick. I recall having difficulty
backing up my databases. Does this small yellow symbol sound familiar to
anyone? I tried everything I can think of to make it go away - but I’d
rather know how it got their and what it is telling me. Any help would be
great.

Thanks in advance
Ken

Did you try putting your cursor on it and seeing is a text tip pops up?

My guess, since you mention Briefcase, is that these symbols indicate that
the database has been replicated and the copy you are working with is either
a replica or a design master. Lookup Replication, especially Briefcase
Replication, in the online help.
