Hi,

is there a way (fairly simple?) to make changes in a front end database. I have a system that have aprox 25 users which have a front end each. From time to time i make changes and rather than going from user to user and replace the front end manually i wonder if can automaticly update them via a patch or something?

See my article on "Versioning" at http://accdevel.tripod.com.

Or, you can download MVP Tony Toews' automatic front-end updater from
http://www.granite.ab.ca/access/autofe.htm.

Or, there's Danny Lesandrini's solution for automated front-end updating
from http://www.databasejournal.com/features/msaccess/article.php/3286111.

One of these approaches may suit your needs. Certainly, they all show that
synchronizing versions in multiple users' systems is not as great a problem
as it may originally seem.

FMS also makes "Surgical Strike" which supposedly allows you to "patch" your
front end. It doesn't work with secured frontends, I believe, and it's
pricey. I prefer Larry's suggestions, but some prefer the FMS route.

Well, I admit that my usual preference is for something that works well and
is free, over something that works well, and is pricey. But, prominent at
FMS may be in the business, it is actually Cary Prague's Database Creations,
http://www.databasecreation.com, that makes and sells Surgical Strike.
