Synchronize data between laptops and server? 1

[DatabaseDude]

(Note: Please let me know if this is best asked in a different SQL forum)

I'm not sure of the exact terminology ... terms such as replication and synchronization come to mind, but I want to make sure I'm speaking properly

The situation is that users would carry a laptop or have a home PC, with data stored locally in SQL Server Express 2005. Periodically, they would need to be able to (1) send their data additions/edits to a central SQL database and (2) receive data changes in the central database.

Though I'd not worked with it directly, I thought this was possible with MSDEs. Could you please confirm if it's possible, and which are the right words to use to describe it? (easier to search for help then! LOL)

Thanks so much in advance.
