Developed with Access 2007, all computers running Vista
Question #1
I know I've seen this question on this board but I cannot find it. I have a properly split database. The back end is located in a shared public folder, which is mapped to each computer. They are all connect via 10/100 ethernet switch. Each computer is running a packaged version of the database and using runtime (only 1 computer has Access). Everything works correctly EXCEPT 1 (cpu #3) of the 4 computers, cannot access reports or forms bound to tables if other users are in them first. If cpu 3 goes in first everything is fine. No other computer has this issue, any thoughts on why this is even happening?
Question #2
I was running a test to see if I could update the front end to add upgrades or add a new feature to the current DB FE. I change the FE on the main computer (the one with Access), re-packaged the db. I proceed to email the new front end to the other user and they go to install. After they install and open the link to the DB, there are no changes. The FE has remained the same.
If the user uninstalls their front end db (via add/remove programs) and then installs the new FE everthying is fine. Is there a way around the hassle of having to unistall a packaged FE just to update it?
