John (and all), I think where some of the confusion might be coming in is when talking about a JET backend vs. a MSDE one, the latter of which was throttled to five users. More connections could be made, but it slowed down quite a bit. A JET based BE can of course support up to 255 connections and I've seen 200+ (reporting only app). For a typical read/write app, 30 to 40 is about the most you would want to go, but it is still capable of going right up to 255.

The connection here would be a bound form connected by a table link to a table in the BE. But, the connection limit for one BE is 5 FE's. So, will maintaining connections on more than 5 FE's reduce performance? Seems logical, but I was wondering if this is correct or is there more to it? Thanks!
