Want an easy way to distribute updates to the users of your Microsoft® Access® front end? Tired of visiting users PCs to roll out a new version of an Access® front end? Weary of explaining to each of the users how to use Windows Explorer to copy the new FE from the server to their PC; And then fixing up the mistakes they inevitably make. And how to get the FE to a new user? This process is exactly what the Auto FE Updater is designed to do and much more. Whenever you need to roll out updates of your Microsoft Access front end (FE) database file and associated files the Auto FE Updater utility will automatically copy the files from a server to a folder on each users PC. When a new user needs to use the application you can email them a link or navigate them to a network share. It's easy! See
