Re: Database Options - Any other settings I should adjust?

"Sure, if I were writing a downloadable
app to distribute over the Internet"

That's exactly what I do, and what I meant by globally.

Take care, David. Your replies have helped a lot on many of my other posts. I'm working this weekend on finally getting my commercial app released as a beta to about 20 beta-testers. Re-doing my app in Access 2007 has been the most difficult project I've ever done.

If your interested in seeing (or even testing? <grin> a 2007 production app, let me know.

I second that! If you're working for a company and just
distributing an app in-house, you could use the .mdb, but if
you're distributing an app globally, .mde is the way to go.

What do you mean "globally?" Sure, if I were writing a downloadable
app to distribute over the Internet, but I don't do that, and my
clients are trustworthy (they aren't going to "steal" my code). I
don't think it's worth the trouble in the environment in which my
apps are used.

That doesn't mean your environment isn't different. I'm just
pointing out that not everyone believes that MDEs are a requirement.
