Distibute an application to many users -- Replication? MDE?

I have Access 97 and the tabels are linked to an SQL-server. Is is possible
to make an replication (a copy) and distribute this to the users and not
make it possible for the users to do any changes on forms, reports etc. I
cant make an .mde when I use it this way.

Michael Kaplan has stated you do *NOT* want to use replication for distributing FE
objects. Just tables and records.

I specifically created the Auto FE Updater utility so that I could make changes to
the FE MDE as often as I wanted and be quite confident that the next time someone
went to run the app that it would pull in the latest version. For more info on the
errors or the Auto FE Updater utility see the free Auto FE Updater utility at
http://www.granite.ab.ca/access/autofe.htm at my website to keep the FE on each PC up
to date.

I have a web application that currently runs on a single server and need to move to a load-balanced environment. The system receives content uploaded by users which will have to be shared among all of the servers; how can I do this? The OS is Windows 2003 Web Server Edition and upgrading to another version of the OS is not an option (unfortunately). The application is written in ASP.Net.

Hi everyone, We have a need to make a Windows Forms (2.0) client application that will be installed on our clients site. The data that the application uses needs to be centrally available to a potentially large number of other sites, which would seem to leave us with our traditional approach, or having a central database server on a dedicated server someplace.

Hi We have an MS Access application which runs on the server but some laptop users need the app to work offline.

My question is how does replication work in sql server specially in context of a vb.net front end i.e. what sort of coding/configuration we...

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
