Newbie question again. It seems that when I upgrade my application to D5 and distribute it, I also have to send a new installation of the BDE. Is this correct? Are there any shortcuts? (it's quite a big attachment to an Email, which is the way I have been distributing soiftware updates). How do you experienced people handle this sort of version upgrade, particularly on multiuser sites? I normally do the initial installation for them in person. Any tips would be gratefully received.
