What is the best way to deploy an access project?

Hi all

what is the best way to deploy an access project (adp)?
- one copy on the network and all the users pointing to it?
- one copy per user desktop?

How do you create deployment scripts to install for the an adp application for first time and how do you create a script that updates the existing access projects with a new release when needed.

Do you use the deployment add-in option in access/VBA ?

thanks

An adp file cannot be shared. So there is no decision to make.

Hi

knowing that you have to install a specific copy in every desktop.

How do you do automate that?

What kind of script, installation program, etc, do you need to use?

How do you updrade the existing desktop version when there is a new release?

Look up the office developer kit and installer 2 go. both will automate installation of the access runtime and associatedd files that you will need to run.

Hi Mark.

I solve the problem with .NEt, creating a Setup project, where I add the Access project as an resource file. I tested it and it works. Running the installation prohtam it copies the adp to the local desktop.
