Conflict viewer does not display

[butcher]

I have a replicated mdb that works fine on my small hub.

when i put it on a large national server using OfficeXp Developer, the Conflict viewer does not appear.

i have entered conflicting data to test it.
the 'resolve conflicts yes/no' message appears.
i have seen the (deliberate) conflicts in the hidden conflict files
replica priority is default - and i've tried others.

i would try to invoke it in the Properties/Custom if i knew its 'name'.
i have put in a call to the site IT support, but no reply so far.

any help gratefully appreciated
