David Fenton recently mentioned in another thread that
"The only proper place for any Access app (since Windows 2000, in fact) is the folder the %AppData% environment variable points to."
I greatly respect David's knowledge, especially in all matters relating to Access, but I'm confused by this statement.
What is the advantage of following this advice, especially in an environment where you are going to have multiple people using the same computer to access your app?
Won't installing to this folder only install the app for one user? And if this is true, won't installing your app multiple times leave multiple, separate copies of your app on the machine? Hard drive space is cheap these days, but I still don't want a front end file and other supporting files (graphics, Word and Excel templates, etc.) copied multiple times onto a machine when one copy will do.
What are your thoughts? Am I missing something key to understanding David's advice?
