Upgrade 2007 Packaged DB

[raystownlaura]

How do you get the Packaging Solution for 2007 to upgrade a database you've deployed without requiring the user to uninstall the old version first?

Sorry if this is a repeat question. I did a search and found some comments, but not exactly what I was looking for.

If you have SPLIT your database (between Backend and Frontend, where the Backend holds just the Tables and the Frontend holds all other objects), then all you need to do is distribute the updated Frontend file for the user to copy over the existing Frontend file.
