Example
Lets image your client purchased your database last
year. Now they want some changes made to the structure of their database to
suit their needs.
In the following examples we will explore how you can
continue developing the new version in your office and when you are ready, you
just send your client the new front end. When the client installs and opens up
their new version, it will detect that they had an old back end structure and
automatically make all the required changes to their data mdb.
Important
Following the steps in the
tutorial example will modify the sample database NorthwindDATA.mdb that comes
with 'SSW Data PRO!'.
There is a golden rule for all
new databases. Before deploying always run 'SSW Data PRO!' at least once.
This is so future versions of the front end can determine the version of the
backend. So for the purpose of this demo, you should create a backup (copy) of
the NorthwindDATA.mdb file and name it NorthwindDATABackup.mdb. Then perform
the following tutorial steps on NorthwindDATA.mdb.
