I am sure this has come up before, I have googled the newsgroups but can't
find any info...
I have amended my front-end and need to roll it out. I do not want to visit
every PC on the LAN and copy the files by hand. So what is the best way to
automate this?
Login script? VBA? Put a CD through the letterbox and run?
Can you give me some pointers on how to configure the best solution? I don't
particularly need the code, just tips on how you folks do it?
Thanks,
Paul

I suspect Tony's Auto FE Updater (already suggested) is more "automated"
than a method I have used, but, FWIW, you'll find an article on "versioning "
at http://accdevel.tripod.com/versioning.htm.

I store a copy of my latest FEs in a public folder. Each user's shortcut,
instead of mapping to the mdb, maps to a batch file which copies the FE to
their HDD and opens it. This way, all users always start with the latest
FE. Typically, that batch file would contain this code:
ECHO OFF
DEL "%userprofile%\ LocalDBFolder\* .*" /Q
XCOPY "X:\MyFile. mdb" "%userprofile%\ LocalDBFolder" /I
START "MyApp" /MAX "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office11 \MSACCESS.EXE"
"%userprofile%\ LocalDBFolder\M yFile.mdb" /wrkgrp "X:\MyPath\MyWI F.mdw"
/user guest

Jeremy,
Great website, bloody useful stuff. I have used your Deployment method and
made one amendment thanks to Keith Wilby's post in this thread.
Your notes state:
"The reason to start the database with a shortcut instead of calling the
database (and Access and the MDW) in the batch file, is that this allows the
code window to close as soon as the batch file is done running, instead of
keeping it open until your user closes the database."
This is fixed by prefixing the call with: START "" (Start and two
quotations)
Now the user checks for updates each time the DB is launched and launches
the DB all from the same shortcut.
Many thanks to all.
Paul

Paul,
I'm glad you found it so helpful. I'll definitely change the batch
files I'm using to use that new trick. Thanks so much (and, of course,
