I split my database manually and put the back end on the network drive and I
put the front end on each users C drive.

Once the front end is copied to the C drive I made a shortcut to the desktop.
Is this ok?
I read somewhere that making a shortcut will cause the file to be opening
from the network. Is that true?

Thanks for your help.

It's fine.

Only if the shortcut's Properties have it pointing to the network
(rather than to the frontend .mde/.mdb file on the user's machine).
