Hi,
I may be missing something simple here
I am finishing off a access app that I am hoping to sell using the 2010 runtime if the end user does not have access installed.
Now my problem - I have split the DB so if I need to perfom upgrades I do not wipe out existing data. I have done this before but the backend was on a server - this time each user will have a stand alone frontend and backend.
How do I arrange the folder structure on the machine I am developing the app on so when it installed on a user PC that the frontend path is correct to link to the backend not just copying the development machine paths as this has failed so far as it does install in the appdata folder and the backend is in a subfolder but the linked tables are the path of the development machine
I want it to install on windows 7, vista and XP - hope this makes sense
Thanks
Dean
