1. Always keep a copy of the database on your computer.
2. Make the changes there. 3. Give the users a new copy once you have completed and tested the changes. -- Lynn Trapp MS Access MVP www.ltcomputerdesigns.com Access Security: www.ltcomputerdesigns.com/Security.htm "Nery" (donotspam) wrote in message ...

Thank you very much Lynn. Do you have any recommendations on how to get the
new copy to the user if they are physically in another location or area of the building? "Lynn Trapp" wrote: 1. Always keep a copy of the database on your computer. 2. Make the changes there. 3.

You have several options.
1. Place the new version of the front end on the server and teach your users how to copy it to their hard drive. 2. Create a batch file that they can run that will copy the new version to their PC. 3. Put the new file on a CD and have them copy it from there (they will probably need to change the Properties of the file from Read Only if you use this method). 4. Email them a copy of the new file. If you, or they, use Outlook, you will need to rename the file temporarily so that it does not have a .mdb extension. -- Lynn Trapp MS Access MVP www.ltcomputerdesigns.com Access Security: www.ltcomputerdesigns.com/Security.htm "Nery" (donotspam) wrote in message ...
