Application Distribution

[clauses]

I have created an access application for use around the office. Everyone currently has a licensed copy of Office XP on their PC and I would like to place my application on the server so that all users can use the application. I does not appear that the deployment wizard is available with XP, and since we utilize the campus agreement I cant really oder a copy of offfice developer so I am not real sure how to proceed. I have placed the front and backend databases on the server and am able to acces them from my PC but every time I open the front end database I still see the database window and am able to make changes to the databases. Using the startup from the toolbar I have made sure the box used to display the database window was not checked but it still shows up.

You have a security problem

I strongly suggest that you change the architecture of your application:
The frontend has to be a MDE in order to protect everything except the tables and macros.
Install one copy of the FE on each client.
If you want to more security, you have to read the MS white paper on Security and the security-related articles in the ACCESS Online Encyclopedia at www.unsoftwareag.com .
Be sure to have understood the securizing procedure thoroughly, otherwise you will get into big problems!
