I'm presently supporting an Access application at about 30 remote locations,
in addition to my "real" job. At present all lookup tables are in the back
end, along with client, customer, and local district data. I'm finding that I
have to update lookup tables fairly regularly. New versions of our
assessments and inspections are developed every 6 months or so, each of which
is linked to about 100 topics and specific practices, none of which are ever
in the same order, etc, etc.
I can add this new information to the back end tables through code and a
start up form (e.g., "Click on this button to add latest versions"). It would
just be easier, and probably more reliable, to have this information in the
front end, which I could then e-mail to users to overwrite or replace their
current front end.
I'd appreciate any input on this.
