mde

Does anyone know of the way to deploy the mde with a batch file? I been looking for way other than the autofeupdater. Can't get it to work since I prefere not to involve the users. I been getting bits and pieces; but it seems like you send a bat file to the users via email and when they run the script; it appends itself to the doc and settings in the users folder??

Also you'll run into issues using this method if you need multiple users on a remote desktop type solution where each user needs a separate copy of the file.

Remote desktop, when set up properly

I suppose this is the key piece of info. With my current setup the bat above would create c:\rasfe\rein.accdb on the remote desktop computer. Same file and location for each user, no?

I suppose the proper setup would copy the file into a "my docs" type folder which would be unique to the user based on the unique login to the remote?

Very interested as the remote aspect with multiple users has been a source of frustration!

Ok. Reading the responses; i can't figure out whether this would work for me or not. Let me recap. I have about 60 users that I need to deploy and mde to each one of their computer preferably in their doc and settings with a shortcut on their desktops. These front ends would be pointing to the be on the server. I don't know how much I need to get IT involved but I would like to keep the users involvment to a min. So; do you think you bat file would work for me and if so can you please guide me in using this. Thanks
