This page describes guidelines for developers modifying All Forms.
Before Making Changes¶
Before modifying the application:
- Create a backup of the front-end database.
- Test changes in a development copy.
- Document major modifications.
Front-End Development¶
The front-end database contains:
- Forms
- Reports
- Queries
- VBA modules
- Macros
Most development work should happen inside: All_Forms_fr.accdb
Back-End Development¶
The back-end database contains: All_Forms_be.accdb
The back-end should primarily contain:
- Tables
- Stored data
- Relationships
Avoid making structural changes without understanding how forms and queries depend on the data.
