Hi!
How do update changes in design such as forms, reports and questions in a
database that has been done in an other database. I want to keep the posts in
the tables, relations etc. I have tryed to import just forms, reports and
questions but then I just get duplicates.

Thanks!

It sounds like you are violating an important rule about working with
Access: you should split you application in two parts. One has the
tables and relations, and the other has everything else, and linked
tables. We call the former the back-end, and the latter the front-end.
You put the back-end on a server, and the front-end on each user's
machine.
Now upgrading is simply a question of putting a new version on each
user's machine. There are utilities to help you with that as well,
such as one by Tony Toews.
