Updating Solutions

[advancesystems]

Hi all.
I deploy runtime split end solutions to my clients. When updates need to be done to the front end I just give them a new runtime front end and it will reconnect to the backend file via code. I am not sure how to go about updating the backend easily or maybe the backend shouldnt require much updating, how do u guys handle this one?

Hi

My back-end mdbs only contain data tables so very rarely need updating. If this ever occurs, the customer has to suspend use of the system until the change is made and the new file supplied but we're usually talking minutes rather than hours or days.

Data Files

do you work on their live backend file or do u give them a new one and import their data?

I work on (a copy of) their live file. Not saying that's the best approach but it works well enough for our situation.
