Can both a back end and front end database created in
Access reside on a server? This is a very small program,
with very low volume expected.

Yep.
 
Juana,

The important part is that each user has their own, dedicated copy of the
FE, not where it resides. As long as you secure this, the location is not
important for light FE's, though it may become important in terms of
performance in the case of heavier FE's.

HTH,

Some people have run and allowed more then one user in the same front end,
and experience no problems.

I guess my answer is if you don't have any problems...then keep your current
setup.

The real question is how many uses do you expect in the program at the same
time? If it was going to be 2 or 3 max, then you might get away doing this.

Anything more then 3+ users...then I would put the Front end on each pc....
