Syntax

object.ExchangeType [= value]

Part	Description
object	Expression that evaluates to a SQLMerge object.
value	EXCHANGE_TYPE constant that specifies the direction in which data can be merged.

Remarks

The ExchangeType property is typically used first to upload all the changes from several Subscribers to a Publisher, and then to download the changes to the Subscribers only after all the uploads have been completed.

BIDIRECTIONAL is the default. You should use a BIDIRECTIONAL synchronization unless you have a specific reason for separating the UPLOAD and DOWNLOAD phases.
