I'm not an Access guru, but I have a customer using an Access DB and they
want to make it multiuser for use from a Terminal Server. What would be
involved in doing this?
You want to split the MDB into a front end containing the queries,
forms, reports, macros and modules with just the tables and
relationships. The FE is copied to each network users computer. The
FE MDB is linked to the tables in the back end MDB which resides on a
server. You make updates to the FE MDB and distribute them to the
users, likely as an MDE.
See the "Splitting your app into a front end and back end Tips" page
at
http://www.granite.ab.ca/access/splitapp/ for more info. See the
Auto FE Updater downloads page
http://www.granite.ab.ca/access/autofe.htm to make this relatively
painless.. It also supports Terminal Server/Citrix quite nicely.

and/or Citrix
