When to Perform a Split Database

[georgeC]

I just finish developing my applicaton using Access '97. Now it needs to be residing on a server.

When do I split the database before moving it or split it when it's on the server.

When you run the database splitter wizard, it asks you where you want to put the back-end database; you can then choose a folder on your fileserver.

After splitting the database will I still be able to do changes to my forms/dialog box or do I need to do this prior to the split.

Thanks for the Input

After splitting a database, you can make any changes necessary to the front end and/or the back end. I find it useful to keep a front end in the same file folder as the back-end on the server and make the necessary changes here. That way, when I want to distribute the changes, I just copy the front end to each user's computers over the old front end.
