John,

<<When you open an Access DB, over a network, does it pull the whole DB
over, or does it just open it, until the data is needed?>>

  Opens it and pulls data as needed.  If Access/JET (MDB) all data is
processed on the client side.  Server acts only as a file sharing device.
If ADP, data is processed on the server and only the result set is returned.

<<They are trying to run
this between offices, which are about 25 miles apart.>>

  Not a good thing to do if Access/JET.  JET was designed for LANs, not
WANs.  Your asking for trouble.

When you open an Access DB, over a network, does it pull the whole DB
over, or does it just open it, until the data is needed?

This has been coming up quite a bit lately. Not so much for my
programs, but for 'other' stuff. For instance we currently have an
imaging program, which has a Access DB behind it. They are trying to run
this between offices, which are about 25 miles apart.

Thanks
