Deploying updated MDEs with embedded database

A

Hi guys,

I have written a small app which helps with producing invoices and
shipping documentation for Ebay. I can package this up as an MDE but I
am going to want to make changes to the table structures in the future,
both new tables and new fields on existing tables.

The app is designed to run stand alone with a single user so there is
no need to deploy MDB on a server and MDE linked front end. If I sent
out a revised MDE with empty databases, are there any shortcuts to
'upgrade' the user except to provide conversion functionality and suck
in all of the existing data into the MDE (issues about breaking
shortcuts etc..), or would I be better going with the MDB/MDE route
anyway and if i do this, I would still have the aggro of updating the
MDB.

I will not have access the the client PCs so it would need to be an
automated (scripted) process.

Thanks in advance

Obiron
