I'm new to this so please bare with me. I have a database on our network
that I want network clients without Access installed to be able to use. I
split the database and created an install package of the front end along with
the runtime using the developer extensions package wizard. My problem is
that anytime I make changes to forms, reports, queries, etc., I have to make
a new setup package and re-deploy all instances of the front end. Is there a
way around this? Can I automate this process for only the changed objects or
is there some other solution?

Once a user has the runtime installed all they need for updates is a new
copy of your MDE file. Tony Toews offers a free utility that makes
replacing the front end file completely automatic.

Philman,

Tony's utility is great. However, if your scenario doesn't require that
level of power, you may be interested in this idea...
