upgrade a deployed app

[Cenan]

Access 2007 Question.
Project to deploy logic and db to Boy Scout troop. My ability to update
LOGIC and NOT db.
Is this correct steps?
1) split db as MDE or ??
2) deploy using Dev. Package wizard with Access runtime for LOGIC, correct?
3) deploy using Dev. Packabe wizard with Access runtime for Data, correct?
4) repete #3) to update forms, reports (LOGIC only).
5) repete #4) to update DB (if needed).

Realistically, there's probably no reason to use the package wizard to
deploy a new copy of either the front-end, nor should it be required to
deploy either the original back-end or changes to the back-end.

Douglas, Thanks for your answer. I understand as follows:
1) Seperate the Logic and Database
2) convert the Logic to MDE
3) copy (distribute) the Database and the MDE to a CD (or e-mail) for each
Scout
4) Instruct the Scouts to create a folder and copy the two files in #3 into
the new folder, creat a shortcut to the MDE and run.
5) Update the Logic app as in #3

Are you using the runtime version? If so, you'll need to package your MDE
with the runtime for the first distribution.

Once you've done that, though, then what you've got is correct.

Douglas,
I am not a professional developer but a one time-er. Your answer helps.
Please suggest for MS to include this procedure on the Access 2007 "how to"
site. I spend time there and some answers, like this one, are not available.
Thanks again
