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

..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 :(
