It sounds like you need to read Albert's page. See last answer

thx Wayne. i have read this and other of Alberts articles. these are part of
the reason i am somewhat paranoid about putting my data tables on a hosting
server. i now have a deployable .mdb FE and an .mdb BE with only the data
tables inside. i am linked to these tables. they are currently on my own
computer, but i am now wanting to locate these tables somewhere else and
install the FE .mdb (soon to be .mde) on three or four other computers
(primarily laptops) for use by my co-workers. i am not sure about my options
regarding this phase. i know there are limited options available. i need
direction in each of these available options. the best case scenario for me
at this point would be to put the BE .mdb on an on-line server host and link
the FE to it. but Albert's comments dissuade me from doing that for fear that
it will not work. and my ignorance of the technical aspects of this phase is
my biggest obstacle.
