1 TopicChanging location of backend database without redoing the frontend app
Hi. I have a database that I have split into backend and frontend. The splitting occurred in our local server, so the backend is naturally stored there. Naturally, this is also the path that is associated to the frontend such that if I move the backend to a different location, the frontend will no longer be able to access this database. Unfortunately, this is my conundrum. I need to transfer the backend file to the cloud since the server is prone to connectivity issues. I've had multiple instances of data corruption due to service interruptions and the cloud would save me from this problem. But, if I simply transfer the backend file, the frontend will be rendered useless. I can relink the tables and other whatnots but that would mean I have to re-position all of my fields in my UI, not to mention modify the VBA codes as needed. Is there a way for me to execute the transfer without having to redo the frontend (the fields, codes, etc.) from top to bottom? Thank you.1.3KViews0likes4Comments
