.mde file copies

Hello everyone,

I am quite new to this forum and also to Access.
I have a quick question regarding splitting a database: do I need to create a .mde file for each front end copies? (installed on each user desktop on the server). The master FE and master BE are on the server.

Please let me know if you need more infos fro this question.

Thanks a lot.

Multiple users can use the same frontend and you can create shortcuts to this frontend which they can place on their desktop.

NB. You need to consider multi-user issues when either the FE or the BE database is used by more than a single user.

Thank you Mmccarthy and NeoPa

So do you mean that after creating the master FE .mde file, I should create a shortcut directly from each user's workstation. Do I need to save it on the same drive as the FE .mde file i.e on the server or on their local C:\drive?

I am also concerned about a backup. Do we backup the master BE.mde file by just copying it on the server after work? we have Access 2k. Access 2002 and Access 2003.

Thanks again for your help!

Shortcuts are an option rather than a necessity. You can put them where they make it most convenient for your users.

Yes. Quite easy really :)
