MDE - how to Version Update?

Sue
Hi, If I make an MDE file, and distribute it, how can I do a version
update where I need to modify only the forms and reports and not the
tables? So if the users already have data in their tables, this data
should not be affected. Thank you very much!

Make sure there is no data in the tables of your mde.
IAW split your application in a frontend (mde) and backend.

Read upon "split database design".
Do a Google search in this group for plenty of answers.

Since a mde can't be modified, you need to think in terms of a application
part, and a data part.

I explains this concept in detail here:
