Hi,
I have separated the data from forms/reports/etc to facilitate future updates:
- Program MDE
- Data MDB
(if I understood forum threads properly, this is the recommended technique)
What is the normal way to deploy these? Do I just provide the user with instructions to link to the tables?
I haven't seen a way to automate this process. I suppose the nice thing about it is that it gives the user the possibility of storing his data on a separate drive (I store programs on partition C, data on partition D - makes things easier when I reformat).

Open Program MDE
Click FILE
Select Get External data
Select Link Table
Enter data MDB name and location
Select All Tables
Click OK
