Default Split Database Question

Thanks Chris for your advice. While on this topic, what would be the best
way to distribute the FE to my users outside of email. I would like to be
able to make sure that the users always have the most updated version of the
FE on their local PC each time the submit their data.

Don't let everyone else share the same front end file. The most important
reason for splitting the database and giving everyone their own copy of the
front end is to avoid corrupted database files.

Chris,
Thanks for the repsone. It makes perfect sense. Sorry but I am new to
working with a split a database. I asked the user to put a copy of the FE on
their local machine and everything works fine. Thanks again!!!

By having everyone share the same front end file, you defeat the purpose of
splitting the database. Place a copy of the front end on every user's PC
