Hi All.... I currently use Access in a network of some 15 PC's with a single PC acting as the backend or server and all other PC's having their own frontend. These are all part of a Gigabit network with Cat5 cable. It has been suggested to me that we should swap over to Windows Server and run all the pc's as "dumb" terminals as this will alleviate the hefty data loads we drag accross the network and will also fix some of the file locking problems that (occasionally) pop up with the current system. Could I start a discussion with you guys on this subject as I know absolutely NOTHING about Windows Server .....having never even seen it running....about the pros and cons? All input would be gratefully recieved REgards Tom Keatley
