Best method for updating user frontend?

[pokerace]

I am going to split a database, but at times the front end forms will need updated. I am going to create a batch file that the user can run, which will copy the updated frontend from a shared networked to replace their local copy. Is that an acceptable method or should I do something different?

You should take a look at Bob Larson's free front end updating tool: http://www.btabdevelopment.com/main/MyFreeAccessTools/tabid/78/Default.aspx

It sounds like your method will also work but it depends on the user to remember to update.

Bob Larson, a member here, has created a tool just for that. It can be found here.

Also, Ken Higgs, another member here, posted a sample that's slightly different but functionally the same thing- here.

HTH.

I think Bob did a good sample database in the Sample Databse thread that would work pretty well. Take a look at it and see if it will do what you want. I'm not sure about the batch file method...?
