sending upgraded version of forms to end-users

[humvie]

I created an application and now wonder how to manage the distribution of newer forms. The table and data do not change, only the forms and queries.

Is this manageable through the Access Dev Tool Kit (Access 97)while creating the installation files or is it done some other way.

I checked several forums but couldn't find anything on it. (hard to believe there isn't anyting - I may not have described it correctly)

If anyone can direct me to a couple of threads that may be on this site please let me know.
Thanks

You need to split the database you have created into a front end (where the forms are kept) and a back-end database (where the tables, and therefore the data, is stored) before you distribute the database. To do this use Tools-Database Utilities-Database Splitter.

Suggest you read the Help in Access before doing this. There are a number of helpful threads already on this site if you use the search facilities, which will provide advice in greater depth.

Hope this helps
