Installation Software

Post by Leesha »

Hi,
I'm looking for a recomendation on a user friendly, not too expensive software that I can use to deploy Access Databases that are linked to SQL tables via a password protected OBDC connection. Presently every time I do an update I end up have to go to each user's computer to install it. I'd prefer to have them be able to double click and installation file and have that be the end of it.

Thanks!

You could try Inno Setup - it's free.
Best wishes,
Hans

There are also some "version control" packages that will let you control the version of various components of a program - for example a local Access MDW file. But they aren't free... just inexpensive.
