runtime network installation

H

I have a database split into a frontend and a backend. I am using Office 2003
developer extensions. I have created both a server side installation and a
client side installation with the packaging wizard. When I include the
runtime with the package and set the desktop and start menu shortcuts to open
the application using the runtime, I get a sharing error. The error says the
the backend.mdb is in use when I try to open the application on more than one
client at the same time. If I do not use the runtime but instead open the
application with a full version of access, I do not have this problem. So
then the question is, may the runtime version be used in a networked
environment? Is this behavior by design or is there a setting or switch that
will allow multiple runtime versions to access the backend.mdb at the same
time. Thank you for your help.
