[AccessD] Replication as a tool for updating FE

Thanks you guys.  I appreciate the feedback.  I have been using an updater
from Ted Avery for about 10 years now that has worked well as long as
permissions are proper on the drives.  This is a new project for a new
organization and they suggested replication.  In the event that it avoided
any drive permission issues I wanted to look into using replication.

I'll look into the updaters that have been suggested and stick with rolling
my own.

Take care,

Jennifer

Jennifer,

  General rule of thumb has always been that replication is OK for data, but
poor for everything else (a FE).

  Anyone I know that's tried to use replication for code/object changes has
always had problems.

It has been suggested to me to use Replication to keep the FE version up to
date.  I have never used replication for data and didn't even consider it
for the FE/code side of things.  Does anyone have any experience with
Replication as the means of propagating changes to the FE?
