Please can someone help or guide me to resolve this problem. I have an access DB called "Monthyly.accdb". Monthly.accdb resides in the directory "\\Camp\public\Provider Network Relations\". I do not want to be going to the user work place desktop to install the application any time there is a change or modification to "Monthly.accdb". I want a script or a method when I send the user an email with "Monthly.accdb anttached, once the recepient clicks on the attached document, the application will run, create a directory on "C drive - "c:\Monthly.accdb and install "monthly.accdb on the user desktop. I will appreciate any help that can be accorded.

Thanks

It sounds like you/your company could benefit from Tony Toews FE updater - check out
I haven't tried his last version, but it seems he's created an even better interface for first time installation.

With this, there is no need to even send them an e-mail, it will install new version, if such exists, on each startup.
