Software only updates

[alley]

How do you provide software only updates (not tables) to a user who has their own data?<br><br>alley

import the objects into the new database

Get the user to split their current database into two... one for the data and one for the software (forms, reports, queries, etc.).&nbsp;&nbsp;Attach the data tables to the software database.&nbsp;&nbsp;Then when you update the software, you can just give them a replacement .mdb file. <p>Jim Conrad<br><a href=mailto:jconrad3@visteon.com>jconrad3@visteon.com</a><br><a href= > </a><br>

Hi Jim,<br><br>The split function does not put tables in one file, software in another.&nbsp;&nbsp;I tried it and&nbsp;&nbsp;the tables are in one, and a complete copy of the original in another.&nbsp;&nbsp;Or does it just appear that way?<br><br>alley

 

[JimConrad]

If your original (now code only) database contains tables with an arrow pointing to them, you were successful.&nbsp;&nbsp;These tables are just a link to the data. <p>Jim Conrad<br><a href=mailto:jconrad3@visteon.com>jconrad3@visteon.com</a><br><a href= > </a><br>
