application to sync multiple MDBs on one server?

[Scotter]

Hi -

I've got quite a few identical MDB files running on an IIS5 server.
From time to time I need to go into various tables and add a field or two.
It would be great if there were an application out there that could either:
(a) sync all MDBs designated to match one I've added some fields/tables to
OR
(b) tell all designated MDBs to have an extra field(s) or table(s).

I've began writing something like this that right now just does part of (b)
but I'd rather find something that is much more slick and complete.

btw I really did try to pick the six or so (out of about 17 asp/db-related I
typically peruse) most applicable newsgroups to post my message in. I
apologize if one or two were not applicable enough in your eyes. Humbly and
seriously.
The point of not crossposting is to not bombard others with extraneous data,
right?
Well this little debate about whether I even need multiple MDBs and you all
posting advice about cross-posting is taking up more space than if you all
had just either answered my question or not said anything.
So now I'm also posting extra messages just to defend myself.

Your URL was probably a bit more appropriate actually. :]

Six most applicable?.... .

microsoft.publi c.inetserver.as p.db - yes
microsoft.publi c.dotnet.genera l - completely OT for that NG
microsoft.publi c.inetserver.as p.general - yes
microsoft.publi c.vb.com - completely OT for that NG
microsoft.publi c.access.3rdpar tyusrgrp - perhaps
microsoft.publi c.access.replic ation - perhaps

I don't mean to offend but, what you _should_ have done instead, is just
post it to the inetserver.asp. general NG, and if it was necessary, you would
have been directed to a more "applicable " newsgroup from there.

The reason why microsoft.publi c.dotnet.genera l MAY not be off topic is
because I'm looking for someone who is a .net programmer who might have
either written a Web CMS like mine that uses MDB back ends and found
software like I'm looking for OR he wrote it himself like I've already half
done.
So please, just because you don't necessarily see or imagine how something
can apply or work don't assume it doesn't apply or work.
Same with the other newsgroup(s) you assume are off topic for my post.
I really really just want peace here and an answer to my original question.

Oh crikey..... I wouldn't even contemplating assuming that, or anything else
for that matter ;o)

As for your original Q (and your probably gonna hate me now), AFAIK, there
is no software available that will do what you are wanting. Instead (and you
probably already know this), you'll need to write a script that opens each
DB, and adds the fields required.

Thanks, Steven, for getting back to my original question! Whew!!!!
Yeah, if you read that question again, you'll see I mentioned I already
started writing this app.
I agree with the reasons behind why you think no one else has probably
written an app like this.
I think I may just switch gears and beef up my lil MDB-structure-copier-app
until it does at least what I need.
Thanks
