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 ??

Can runtimes modify code?
20 meg? Unless the user is using dial-up 20 meg won't take long
unzipped. Zipped will be even smaller.
After that I'd use Tony Toews AutoFe to keep life simple. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics
