Peter demonstrated code (and some data) to enable you to fire and forget application upgrades to different networks.
Just build and send the customer the ACCDE that works on your development network and have it automatically reconnect to their server and database on first run.
It works with more than one target SQL Database in the system. The user then just saves that new ACCDE to distribute to users.
The solution has been proved with many clients and the code will be available afterwards.
Also included will be full instructions and all the SQL Scripts you need to create a test environment to prove the code before trying to put it into your own projects.
Peter has run his own consultancy (Corylus Business Systems) since 2004 and specialises in not specialising for many different sectors.
A user of Microsoft Access since the beta program three decades ago his projects are as much (if not more) about data analysis, function and business problem solving rather than amazing code. Projects are generally lengthy prototyping/agile style projects where the client often starts out quite unsure of their expected final requirements.
Peter has been a regular speaker at the UK Access Group for over a decade. He also has a source code licence for Andy Couch’s excellent MUST software and performs Access backend migrations to SQL Server As A Service.
