Just so I'm clear on this - they all have their own FE and are not
using the
same FE, correct?

Hi John

We have a bunch of applications we run this way off a Novell server.
It
causes no problems.
But of course, as Charlotte points out, Access or a runtime must be
installed at the clients.

A better way could be to install a Terminal Server or - if the user
count is
below 21 - WinConnect:

I have an odd request from one of my department heads. They have
inherited
an Access 2K program, from an external agency they were working with,
and
they want me to install it. It has a FE and BE, but they are saying
that
some of the users of this program will be at multiple computers. They
don't
want this on every computer. So, they...and I guess I am as
well...wondering
if there is a problem loading this FE to each of these users' network
drives. Every user has a personal drive, which is a directory on the
network, under their dept.
directory that only they have access to, in most cases. We have a
Novell
net, if that makes a difference.

I know this  will use more space, but it is a small FE and it really
isn't
that big an issue here. Are there any caveats to beware of?

Thanks!
