Unified Central Front End

Hello,

I was wondering about one thing. I saw an idea in Mr. Richard Video About accounts management. In that series he made a button so that he can switch between companies, I liked the idea but I want to take it one step further to make one FE for all my data bases so Other People don't need to switch files too much it is all in one place is that possible? because unlike the account management my data bases will have different tables, queries, forms, modules, classes what are my limits in term of size and performance if I do such a thing and is this a good idea in term of scalability and maintenance?

The Idea Is Similar and the way shown in the video much simpler than what I had in mind. However I want to implement this in multi user enviroment and I can't put all FE on server but if it was on their desktop I need to go set it up for every device one by one. I am developing the DBs for my office so I change the design a lot so I was Looking for something similar to this but works for my case Thank U MR. Rost

Well, if you set up the folder hierarchy exactly the same, then it's just a matter of setting up those databases once. In other words, if everyone has a C:\database folder, then you can use the same paths for every user's database. Of course, then you have the issue of keeping those updated when you make changes, and that's where my Access Updater comes in handy.
