I just make an application for a company. They work with it, but I make updates in this time.
I split the database with the wizard and so on,
but the problem is:
I make the updates in the realtime version, how can I Undo the link for only my application, so the other users can work and I can design in the same time
It's now also possible to do this, but when users work with it, its very slow.

thnx in Advance
Gerard
 
The way we accomplish this where I work is like so:

The developer database sits out on a network drive (I'll call it Program.mdb). Each user has a copy of the compiled MDE of the database (I'll call it User.mde). The data rests on the same drive as the developer database (I'll call it Data.mdb).

I, the developer, can make all of the alterations I need to Program.mdb and then recompile User.mde in the same directory as Program.mdb. When each user logs in, their login script copies User.mde to their local drive.

This works real well here.

thnx I'll try this,
