Sync Option is grayed out.

Greetings, Question: How I can do to make the option to sync a remote database be enabled again?

The User has information to synchronize, but the sync Option is grayed out or Disabled.

Any idea?  ...  

thanks

Some things to look at:

- If Windows Vista/7, try 'Run as administrator'.

- User access level.  Try signing into remote with Admin user name and test.

- Check status of synchronization (publisher or subscriber): Help > About ACT! > Database Information > scroll down to 'Sync Role' > is it set to Subscriber.  If not subscriber (or publisher), this database will not be able to sync.
