importing/deleting forms and tables

[Guest]

I have distributed an application which will be continuously improved upon to a few users. I was wondering if there was an easy way to have users overwrite certain forms and tables. For example:

If I made an update to frmMain and would like to distribute this form to the users, what would be the best way of doing this?

Thanks for any suggestions,
Chad

The easiest way to distribute updates to users of your application is to
deploy your application as 2 database files: a Front-End (FE) containing
all queries, forms, reports, macros and modules) and a Back-End (BE)
containing shared tables. Each user has a copy of the FE on his or her own
pc; the FE uses the linked table manager to link to tables in the BE. When
it is time to deploy updates, the users simply copy a new FE over their
existing one.
