split the mdb and have just the backend on the server. Give

[Guest]

Where can I find instructions on how to "split the mdb" so the just the
'backend' is on the server and each user can have a copy of the 'frontend' on
their computer? I don't understand -- what is the the 'backend' and the
'frontend' of the mdb. This is needed so that more than one user can be in
the database at one time.

Thank you very much for your help. It is very much appreciated!

The back end (BE) contains just the data tables and relationships. The
front end (FE) contains everything else (queries, forms, reports, code) and
linked tables - that is, you use the 'link tables' utility to link the FE
to the BE. A linked table is identified by an arrow on the tables tab of
the db window.
