Hi.

Purely theoretical at this stage, but I am looking to move down the path of selling an FmPro app that has been "sealed" in the Devlepoer Utilities - ossibly incorrect terminology sorry.

I have a couple of questions - the first one is not clearly covered in the manual here, and the second one isn't mentioned.

Firstly, if I need to recall the database from a client to make changes how do I make such changes? Is the USR file simply a renamed FP7 file? How do I make changes to the database and then return it to them per se?

Secondly, this is pushing it a bit, but is it possible to send a patch out to the client that replaces the current database? Eg. Is the data and actual database/layouts etc kept seperated in the above arrangement so I can send out the new look database and (assuming data structure is the same) that their existing data will slot straight in?

Any info re above is appreciated.

Cheers,

Greg

If the database is a separation database and you are not replacing any data tables then yes a patch can be done of the front end without overwriting thier data.
