Kath, We use Sagekey to deploy Access97 over multiple platforms, and when i make an upgrade I just use the exe to do it. The advantage we have found is as it takes its own references and such I do not get deployment issues despite having 2500 users over 4 different SOEs and 4 departments. I run Access97 apps across office 97, 2000, XP and all operating systems from windows98 to XP, 2000 and NT. Just a thought, if you want more information just let me know. Regards, Connie Kamrowski Analyst/Programmer Information Technology NSW Department of Primary Industries Orange ..pretty much the same way you do Kath but I make the changes on my development system ...test it on my client simulator system ...and then put a new fe on the network for normal update by the runtime systems. ..runtimes won't solve version change problems ...but you can build code into your startup to check the current version and load the correct runtime if you anticipate version changes ...that's a bit of work and only works transparently if MS doesn't throw a monkey wrench into things ...the damn "sandbox" in 2003 is a "*(&%$ example of such ...code runs fine in full Access but errors all over the place in the runtime ...so far I've just disabled it ...the "new" file dialog object is another example of something that works fine in full mode and not at all in runtime :( William This message is intended for the addressee named and may contain confidential information.
