    update front end mde

    All,
    I have multiple users using a database. Everytime I make a change to a form or report; I find myself recreating a mde to the front end for each user. Is there an easier way? There are 3 user plus a guest.


    Thanks

    You would have to make an MDE file if you are wanting it to be one. But you can make one and, if you use an Auto Update Tool (like the one I offer for free on my website - see my signature) then you can simply make the change, make the mde, change the version numbers and then when the user opens their frontend, it will know it is out of date, tell them so, close automatically, delete the old one, download the new one, and reopen automatically for them.
