Hmm. What if a Word file may be located in more than one location?

I've designed a database & would like to have some step-by-step instructions
for new users available. My thought was to develop a Word document & a
command button to open it. The problem is (please don't laugh - I'm ignorant
about this aspect of things) that my employer has multiple servers. Will a
file placed on one drive - say the "c' drive" - be hit regardless of the
server used?

If you laugh, I'll pout.
 
I understand.
Thanks for the info.

Now other questions as a "sequel" to the last:

1. There is a drive - call it the "h" drive - that all of our group has
access to. This drive can be mapped to the user's account so that the can
access files from any location - we are often mobile & may be at one of any
number of locations in the company. Sometimes when logging on, the system may
hit a different server (depending on how busy the usual one is), but as long
as we've mapped our account to the h:\ drive, we can get there from any
location. Will I achieve what I'm trying for by posting the database on h:\?

2. I want to password-protect the database so that no one can get into it
but members of our group who have been given the password. I assume my next
bit of reading deals with security?

3. I want to further protect the database so that no element of the tables
or queries - and no structure of the database and its reports, forms, and
macros - can be changed unless y me. Again, is reading under the heading of
security my best place to go?

4. is there a particular sequence I should use in performing the above tasks?

Many thanks!
