Karen,
If you have to update reports or forms which are part of the database you could load them automatically into the database. I have done this with Stored procedures. The only thing you'll have to do is think about possibility on beforehand and built in the necessary statements in your program. In this case you have to define a standard name for file which contains the update Before the program really starts check if the file is there If so, run it and delete the file. This works wonderful, the only thing you have to bear in mind is that it makes the program (a little) vulnerable. Somebody could use this facility for other things.

If you use the forms/reports that are a part of the database, how do you usually load new copies? If they are on the compiler, I assume that they don't have a full version of RBase installed there. So do you usually have a "bring in changes" menu option that either you or they would pick to run a file that you place in the directory?

The one problem is your statement, "if your application is very mature". I do not know if my form would fit that description. I guess I can only try and see what happens. James Belisle
