Can several users access one front end?
Thanks to everybody you all for your posts on this, I am forwarding your
suggestions to the IT department and hopefully we can come up with a solution. As a last resort I am planning to make several copies of the front end (one for each person) held centrally on the network and give each person a shortcut to 'their' front end. A very inelegant solution though. I will let you know how we get on. Many thanks again. "Keith Wilby" wrote: "Obeide" wrote in message ... Each person's local applications folder is wiped clean whenever they log off. Each person has a 20MB space on their 'home drive' and I actually have three dbases that they would need access to, totalling 23MB, there would be no space for any other files to be stored. Try using my batch file method. In my organisation, the "Temp" folder does not count towards the user's profile size. Keith. |

If by "inelegant" you mean "not very simple", remember that for nearly every
problem there is a simple solution ... that's wrong!g Regards Jeff Boyce Microsoft Office/Access MVP "Obeide" wrote in message ...

I've used it myself for a client running Citrix where they didn't want the FEs installed on the Citrix server. So we kept the FEs in a server folder named by the userid. The Auto FE Updater handled that situation quite nicely.
