Easy updates.... IF you put a FE on each pc, you need a mechanisme to check if an update is available on the server and copy it localy.... But I do advise it. Since MSA2K I had a whole lot of locking problems even with 2 or 3 simultaneous users when only using 1 FE on the server. Having local copies solved that. Those locking problems I never had with the same app in MSA97...

So tell me, other then the only obvious advantage I can think of, what earthly advantage is there in having a FE in the same network location as a BE? The only advantage I can think of is that it allows for slightly easier modification of the FE, since a new copy can be put into place, without having to worry about the data in the BE. However that really isn't an issue with 97, because 97 allows for modification of practically anything, as long as it's not in use (not the whole database).

Hi Drew > eh? eh?? You're normally not that dense - or have you again being working all night ... what I mean is, of course, that putting the FE on the server has nothing to do with not splitting the database. If you take your precautions and the FE is nice and doesn't write to itself it can be perfectly safe to run it this way. /gustav >> Putting the FE on the server is just like not splitting the FE to >> begin with. That's about it, in a nutshell. > Ahh ... if so it doesn't fit in that nutshell. _______________________________________________ AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com _______________________________________________ AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com
