runtime upgrdae question

[lez]

Hi Guys,

I Am looking for advice on distributting an app to clients, I have deployed
my ver 1.0 of this app already. However, I now need to upgrade the
application with a number of small fixes I have made.

I do not therefore need to deploy the access runtime application and just
want to distribute an upgrade version. Currently each time I test this I
have to go in to control panel and remove the current application and instal
the new one. I do not naturally want my users to have to go in and remove
the current install just run an update for the current version.

Can anyone advise the correct way to do this or point me in the right
direction to for more details on producing a runtime and runtime upgrades.

many thanks
Lez

Assuming your application is split, then all you doing is given the users a
new "front end" mde.

So, you could just email them a zipped mde with instructions.

A better way is to use some type of free installer that will copy the front
end for you.

I have explain how I do this here....and I also include some free installer
code/examples:
