Modifying Form Then Updating ACCDE File

[Ranger7913]

I have a form I created for a database. I split the database and made an accde file for other users to utilize. I have modified a form. What is the best method to get the form out to the other users? The modification includes adding tab control subforms. I assume I will need to get the subforms out also. I plan to modify the original form on the original front end of the database. Do I just make a new accde file and send it out? I have some users who have created queries in their accde file. How can they receive the new updated form without having to replace their existing accde file? Thanks for the help.

Unless users can import objects into ACCDE, I think they are out of luck and will have to create queries again.

In a split system you have a Front End(query/form/report..) and a BackEnd(tables/data reside here).
BackEnd resides on a shared server. Acopy of the FrontEnd exists on each user's PC.

If you make an accde from your accdb(Front End), you must backup and protect that accdb. The reason is you can not edit the accde, and no one can modify it. So, when you need to make changes, you go to the associated accdb, make your changes, test it thoroughly, then make a new accde and distribute to all users.

If users have added queries to their copy of accde, please tell us the details.
