Synchronizing a Replica from another DB

[MajP]

I have a replicated database. The replicas only contain tables. The users have a front end for their replica. I have a cmd button in my front end to cause the replica to synchronize

Public Sub startSynchReplica()
  On Error GoTo errLbl:
  Dim strBackend As String
  Dim dbReplica As Database
  Dim app As New Application
  Dim synchPath As String
  Dim rtn As Long
  synchPath = "some path"
  strBackend = CurrentDb.TableDefs("Tasks").Connect
  strBackend = Mid(strBackend, 11)
  Do Until FileExists(synchPath)
    rtn = MsgBox("Can not find Master Daster Base.  Please select OK to search or CANCEL to cancel synch.", vbOKCancel, "Search for Master")
    If rtn = vbCancel Then
      Exit Sub
    End If
    synchPath = fGetFileName
  Loop
     Set dbReplica = OpenDatabase(strBackend)
     dbReplica.Synchronize synchPath, dbRepImpExpChanges
     Set dbReplica = Nothing
  
    Exit Sub
errLbl:
   Call errHandler(Err.Number, Err.Description, "Error in startSynchReplica")
End Sub

This works. The problem is if there are any record conflicts. I do not get a window or a way to resolve the conflicts because I never actually open the replica. If I run the above code and then open the actual replica, the conflicts window appears. I think I could just open the replica from the frontend after the synchronization but this would get a little confusing. Questions:
1)Anyway to check if conflicts exist? Because I could then synch from the frontend, open the replica, and if no conflicts close the replica. If there are conflicts then I would leave the replica open
2)Anyone ever do something like this and have a better strategy for synching from another DB?

The reason for replication, is that the dbs are often used disconnected from a network.
