[AccessD] Can't open form

 Or... If the users in this benighted government office have their own personal network drives why not just put the FE there? I find there's not much in it for performance between a FE hosted locally or on the network.

2 cents worth.

So why not put the FE in the image?  That way you'd get the advantage of the
FE/BE and the local processing.

I recently did a project for a government ministry. My original thought was to put a local copy of the FE on each PC and a single copy of the BE on a server, and was given a flat no. The guy went on to explain that all local PCs are created from a single image, so anything added since then would be destroyed the next time the drive was imaged. I could see his point. Every once in a while, say when they decide to upgrade Office or something, they just recreate the image file and then update the thousand or so PCs scattered around the province, all done remotely. I definitely see the sense in this approach.
