Look at: http://autofeupdater.com/ You can also make your own! I use a separate .mdb file to copy files from a source folder on the server to the user's folder when a user wants to open the app. This is helpful because if you have a specific situation you can get it resolved with your own solution.

On the face of it it looks great, but the problem is that every time you make a change (in the design master) to any objects in the front end, forms, modules, report, queries, etc. records are written to an MSYS table to which you have no edit rights, and the size of that table grows rather rapidly as you develop the application. The end result is uncontrollable bloat. I would stick with the various front-end updater solutions that are "out there". Anyone care to point to a current, active link to the FE Updater?

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?
