I am using AutoUpdater FE by Tony Toews and everything seemed to be going
just like I thought it should...until today. Here is my understanding of how
this whole thing works. When you launch Auto Updater FE it checks the server
to see if a newer version is available. If so, it copies the new version to
the user's workstation and then launches the new version from that
workstation. If no new version exists on the server, AutoUpdater just
launches the existing version. Somehow while working on a new version of my
database frontend, I seem to have modified the version on the server. Don't
ask me how because I can't figure out how it happened. I went to a
workstation where the user had the old version running it changed to the new
version. How is that possible? First, when a user is running their frontend,
I was under the impression that they are running the version on their local
hard drive. Second, I didn't think a change to the front end would (could?)
be implemented until the user launched AutoUpdater FE. I intentionally went
back to the front end on the server and 'un-did' the change and sure enough
it changed on the user's workstations with out re-launching the database.
This isn't a problem and not data was lost or anything it just bothers me
that I don't understand what is going on. Can anyone offer any suggestions as
to what is going on?
