I have an app being used by 64 users over a network. The back end
resides on one of the servers and each user has their own frontend.
The latest version has coding to prevent the app being used if the
version does not match with the backend. Unfortunatley, the original
app had no coding for Version number and can still be used.
Most of the staff did as they were instructed and left the front end
on their desktops. When I issued the 2nd version (containing the
version number coding) it first killed the original version.
Unfortunatley, some of the staff have moved the front end and created
a shortcut on the desktop. It could have been moved anywhere! There
are C and D drives (harddrives) on each machine and H, J, P & R
network drives. Assuming they haven't renamed the original, does
anyone know how to search through each drive and delete any instance
of the original app?
Additionally, what do you use as standard on all apps? (i.e.
version numbering, check to see if app already open etc etc)
Thanks to all who have helped me over the last 12 months (both
directly and by previous posts!) have a good Christmas/New
Year/Holiday!

Front end files have information inside them about the location of the back
end, but the reverse is not true.
You could issue yet another new front end that links to the same back end,
but with a different name or location. The old front ends would then stop
working because they would still be looking for the old name/location.

Hi there,
We have a compiler specific issue which requires us to force template instantiation. This works fine. The problem comes
when I try using std:find() on vector. Since vector has no member function find() and I have to use std::find(). The
linker fails on unsatisified symbols in find().
I think this is because find() is a template function and I have to force instantiation. However, I donot know the
correct syntax of doing so....

On each workstation there's a front end, when the front end opens it checks
a 'version number' held in a table of properties against the version number
in a copy of the front end held on the server. If it's the same it opens
normally. If not it shells out to an UpdateClient.mdb and quits. The
UpdateClient.mdb overwrites the FE on the workstation with the one on the
server. But I was getting an access error (70, I think). Presuming that the...

I'm thinking about providing a relatively easy method for users to restore
the front end from a backup. The purpose is to allow for restoring if the
front end becomes corrupt.
Here are some particulars about my app
1) The front end is distributed as a .mde file.
2) Front end uses workgroup security
3) A separate logon form is used to actually launch the front end.
4) My app includes a backup front end form, that backups the front end...

This causes a lot of bloating. I set the property that causes the db

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
