Form and Database Changes

[supportt]

I have an access db I created for someone and need to add a new form. Question is? he has given me the whole dbf file, but is continuing to add new records as I work on the other copy. My question is, how can I update the new forms without effecting his current data?

Thanks

The forms themselves do not alter the data. You can update the form(s) on your copy of the database and have him import the new form into his copy of the database (with the latest data) when you are done.

just to confirm

Once I make my form additions, he will need to open his current copy of the DB and import the new objects? Correct?

Just want to say, you guys/gals do a GREAT! job here...

Everytime I have an issue or question about Access, 9 out 10 time I get a pretty good reply and quick.

Keep up the great work

Yes, he will open his copy of the database. He will then go to File, Get External Data, Import and point to the new form that you've edited.
