I am running an Access Front-End using ODBC-linked SQLServer Tables as well
as Jet-linked Tables using Citrix MetaFrame with more than 50 users but
averaging about 10-12 users on-line at any given time. The only problem I
found is printing, especially InkJet printers using USB connection going
over slow links.

Each user can also have a separate Front-End mde on the Term. Service Server
/ Citrix also. See Tony Toews' AutoFEUpdater:

this may give file lock issues, but by using terminal services it would
revolutionise the access to the system.

drives and this accesses the backend data on the server via the linked
tables.
