I have developed a data base to be distributed to 10-15 users who do not
have Access installed. I have the Sccess 2003 Developer Extensions and can
thus package a runtime version.
I guess that the best thing to do is to split the db in a back-end db with
the tables to be installed on the server, and a front-end db to be
distributed to the users. I have made a few attempt to do this but without
much luck. Therefore a few questions:
1) Do I have to pack the back-end db as a runtime vesion or can I install
just copy it as it is to the server?
2) Since users do not have Access I take it that the front-end db under all
circumstances have to be packed with Developer Extensions. However, does it
have to a mdb file or can I use the a mde file?
3) In one of the fruitless attempts I have made so far I got an error
message:"The expression on-timer you entered as the event property setting
produced the following error: Disk or network error" (I use the on-timer
event to close the opening form and open the switchboard).
Any help would be appreciated.
