Updating project/db |

| message from Mike J on 8 May 2004 |
Is there an easy way to update the project at a "customer"
site with the newly updatedn project I worked on at my sit?
IE. My customer has the db but there were a few bugs that
I fixed on my computer. The only way I update it now is
cut and paste the forms which is cumbersome.

Did you split the database into back-end (tables, data, and relationships)
and front-end (queries, forms, reports, macros, modules, and any needed
local look-up tables)? If so, then simply provide the complete new front-end
to the users to replace their old one.
If you did not, you'll never be able to do this sooner than now, and that is
when you should do it.
What form of database did you provide the client? MDB, MDE, ADP, ADE? If you
gave the client "compiled" MDE that included the tables/data, then you'll
need to retrieve their data into a separate MDB before you proceed. ADP/ADE,
by definition, do not include the data and you should be able to replace the
whole front-end; MDB can be split from the data... you'll have to extract
the client's data, first, then provide a new MDB which you link to the
backend data tables.
