MouseHook on split DB

[BruceM]

I am getting ready to split a database on which I have been working. I have
incorporated Stephen Lebans' MouseHook, which has been working wonderfully.
When I split the DB, from what I can tell I will need to copy MouseHook dll
into each user's computer. My plan is to create a new folder on each user's
machine. Into that folder I will copy the front end and the dll. I may set
up a self-extracting zip file containing both the front end and dll files,
and either e-mail it (if I am allowed to e-mail an exe file) or place it on
a network location and send a link to that location. Is this a sound plan,
and am I correct about the location of the dll on a split db?

You're correct in that the users should all have a copy of the dll on the
workstation.
For future updates check out this great tool, that'll save you loads of
time.

You won't have to email everyone or (yikes) go to their computers when you
update the app.
