we have 2 Access Applications. One is in Access 97, the other in
2000.
With Access 97 I was able to replace a module that contains an old web
address using docmd.TransferDatabase.
When I tried it with Access 2000 (it's the same module) it crashes the
application on load. I've searched around and have found that this is
a known bug. Unfortunately, I have this deployed to several customers
using the runtime, so I can't go with the workaround.
I have been tasked with changing this line, so I was wondering if I
could do it w/ a simple VB app. . . but I haven't the foggiest idea
where to start.
Could someone help point me in the right direction?
Thanks,
Alan
Can't you simply send them an updated app (FE) ??
I am assuming you did split the app in a seperate frontend and backend ... ??

Well, i could (and yes it is split) but the front end is still pretty
big (20+ mb) so the powers that be want an e-mailable patch.
Hmm. pretty big indeed ....
I wonder what kind of app that is ... (Sure you have no tables ??)
My 'biggest' app is about 9 Mb as mdb; distributed as mde it is about 5 Mb; zipped it is about 1,5 Mb
So how do you distribute updates if you are unable to mail them ??
