Upgrading a deployed package
Hi Experts,
Apologies if this question has been asked before, however, I can't find exactly the answer I need.
I have create a split database which I have deployed using the deployment wizard. The packaging includes the runtime and also the export to PDF addin. All works as expected.
Now I have updated the front end and included some new reports.
Question is, how do I now deploy the updated front end? If I try the deployment wizard and only include the new accdr file, I get an error message telling me the application is already installed and I have to uninstall it!
Any help gratefully received.
Thanks
David

Thanks for the response.
I had thought of simply copying the new front end file (most probably an accdr file), however, I'm working on the premise that some of the users are somewhat (how to say this elegantly) inexperienced. I really wanted to have a "here's a package - just start it and it will do the rest" solution.
As for the code to relink. I already have that and I have assumed that if the new front end is the same name as the old front end I wouldn't need to relink anyway. Correct?
Thanks
