[AccessD] Multiple Frontend Users

Certainly Philippe!

I'm in the process of "roughing out" a brief web-based article which I'll
publish somewhere in the next few days.

Thanks for you interest!

Hi Chris,

I have a similar issue, and would be pleased to have a look at your bat
file.

Thanks in advance,

Philippe

Arthur!

I've had similar arguments with our IT "professionals"!

My multi-user split FE/BE database worked as follows:

BE and copy of FE stored on network "share" along with bat file.
User has shortcut to bat file on desktop
When user needs to use database they double-click on shortcut to bat file.
Bat file looks to see if user has latest version of FE on their C: drive,
if not, it copies file for network share and runs it, if it is latest it
runs it.

Simple!

The only this you need to do if user gets a new machine is to create the
shortcut to the bat file. I would have automated that if I could have been
bothered ;-)

If you need any more info of a copy to my super-duper bat file please let me
know.
