How do I deploy form changes to users accessing the DB via runtime 2007?

[jrjeffcoat64]

I created a simple DB for registering improvement suggestions. Nothing fancy, just a couple of basic forms and reports. I have split the database and now have the front end forms and the back end tables. I used the wizards to create the runtime package containing both runtime 2007 and the front end forms without any problems...so far....



My question is... (after the initial install) when I make a change to the front end forms or reports, how do I deploy those changes to the employees that are using the runtime client? Does runtime have an option to look at the initial front end forms and check for changes or do I have to email all the users that a change has been made?


Thanks in advance for any help!!!

Does each user have a seperate copy of the database on their pc?
If so you will need to send them all a new copy and get them to overwrite the old version (front end only).
If the database is shared over a network then you just need to update the master copy (when nobody is using it) and then the next time they open it they will have the new copy.
There are various tools and bits of code floating around that can automate this for you if you want.
