Has anyone looked into replication?

What I want to do, is to add the necessary code to my current application which uses .dbf files.

I presume I need to track each record's timestamp and userkey, and have some unique primary key generator for any new records that are added. Perhaps the CLSID algorithm could be used? I guess I also need to add fields which track when the last synchronisation was performed, so the program knows which records need to be resolved.

I am guessing there are lots of other issues involved, and I just wondered if anyone has looked into it before I spend time on it.
