auto updating front-end on workstations

I was reading the thread called "Re: Split the DB, how do I deploy the "Front-end"?" and Denburt mentioned something that I've been interested in doing with my database, and that is to create a way for each users front-end to recognize when I have made a modification to the copy of the front-end on the server. I guess I'd like a way to "push" the updated version to the workstations, or a way for their copy of the FE to see that there is a newer one, and to give them an option to update their copy.

Denburt gave a brief explanation of what he does, referencing a "main menu" and stuff like that (would that be like the Switchboard?) but I would like to see more specific suggestions, coding, etc to give me something to work with. It would sure be nice to not have to go to each work station and copy/replace everyone's front end manually.

Thanks!

Nice thread. I'd love to see a tutorial on this if either of you are interested. Seems like something a lot of Access developers would be interested in.

I'm using the following in a page that I'm testing in Mozilla: p.actionLinkBlock {border: 1px #000000 dashed; padding: 0.2cm; width: auto} But the dashed border is extending to the right-edge of the screen. I want it to only extend as far as it needs to to nicely contain the content within (a couple of links). Is width: auto the wrong property to do this? Is Mozilla rendering the style wrong?

Has anybody had any experience writing an auto update program that will check the internet to see if there is a newer version of the code out there and download it? It doesn't seem that complicated but I just wanted to hear from people who have done it if there are any gotchas I should watch out for. TIA - Jeffrey.

Hello scripters - OS: Mac OSX Language: PHP w/ MySQL database I've created an insert page where a user inputs his info, which then goes to four different tables in a MySQL database.

I've been able to input multiple records into the other three tables 'specialty_groups', 'committee_interest' and 'committee_member'...

Updating my bag of tricks again. What's the level of support for margin: auto. Is this widely supported now amongst almost all browsers? It's a common request to have a "centered" page. I don't remember which major browser didn't support margin: auto, but there was a common hack with some "text-aligns". Is it time to drop the hack? Jeff

The problem I'm coming across now is that I can't update such a column, because I have set the auto generated value to true, and LINQ won't let me change such a value, a la "System.InvalidOperationException: Value of member 'Activated' of an object of type 'Customers' changed. A member that is computed or generated by the database cannot be changed." This is fine for identity fields, but the field I'm updating is a bit that starts...

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. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
