Access Program Updating 1

[tqeonline]

I have an access program that is used by three computers. I have the database linked on a networked drive. I then download the MDE of the program onto each computer.

This program is updated frequently (Couple of times a month).

I would like to be able to update it remotely or update one and it updates all of them.

The reason I dont have it as icons on their desktops like shortcuts is because it ran into errors with the updating of the database.

So my question what options do I have as far as a global access program?

Heres my setup:

Z: (Shared Network drive)
- Purchase.mdb (this is what I edit, then make a MDE to share)
- Database.mdb

Each computer
- Purchase.mde
