Front-end updater on SharePoint Online?

[CNorway]

Hi,

For the past several years, I have used the following front-end updater:
"Application Starter for Microsoft Access (versions 2000 and later)
Version: 4.4" http://www.peterssoftware.com/aps.htm

My database has an Access front-end and MS SQL Server backend.

I have had the front-end stored on SharePoint 2007. However, the company is moving to SharePoint online and I see that when trying to get front-end updater to grab a version from a website it fails.

I have tried using network drives previously. However, the main challenge there is that the end users don't share access rights to the different network drives (thus the reason I chose a common open Sharepoint site for sharing until now).

Is there any other option to solve this issue?

Thanks!
Best Regards,
Chris

Not sure if anybody has tried it but you could try to store it in a new table in your SQL back-end as BLOB.

Cheers,

In my opinion, this thread contains the most comprehensive installer/updater I have found.

That being said, Vlad’s website does have a promising utility that I have not tried out yet...

Thanks for the tip. I will check out this code and see if maybe it is better than the one we have been using. Thanks!
