    Question on FE updates

    I've been working on my database for some time now and I have a few people using and test it, each with his own data. I have split the database. Now if I make changes in my VBA can I just update the my FE file and send other user the same? What can I up date on FE? Would the file have the same name and just over ride the other? I'm not on a server, each user is on his own PC. Can I split a ACCDE file, haven't tried it yet.
    Thanks!

    I have looked and searched for topics on this, but still not clear.

    With a split database, you can just send them a new copy of the FE. Presuming the path to the back end is consistent, it should work for them. If they'll continue to have their own back end, just make sure you all have it in the same location. If not, you'll need to add some sort of relinking capability that lets them point to their back end. I'm not sure you can split an accde, there would typically be no point in the back end being an accde.

    Thanks! That's what I was reading on FE updates. Why would we need the same location? as long as FE is in the same path as BE each user should be fine. Wouldn't I want a ACCDE database if I wanted to keep users from changing the code?

    An accde front end yes; I mentioned back end. You just have to make sure that the path you link to the back end with is valid on the user's computers as well as yours.
