Making Synchrozation Process Easier?

[Tom]

I designed a Access XP database that is being used around
the world by our business development group. I used the
Design Master/Replica method, because some, to most, of
the users use laptops and they are not always connected to
the server. I wrote the exact process that the users
needed to follow in order to synchronize their database
with the design master, but I still get users calling me
and telling me that the synchronizing process is not
working. The problems that the users have are that they
do not follow directions and do not pay attention.

What I am asking is, does anyone know how to shorten the
synchronization process down to one button click or
selecting one thing from the menu bar. I would like to be
able to write a piece of code that will close all the open
forms, automatically choose the location of the Design
Master (which always resides in the same place), and them
selects yes to start the syncronization process.

Thank you in advance.

Tom
