Hi Connie - thanks for the reply. 2500 users? That's pretty impressive. Did you notice William's email? Have you had the version change problems he mentions?

  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,

  ..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 :(
