Re: Access database

The problem is the number of work stations that it would have to be installed
on, and also managing any design changes to the front end.
Would creating my own form to navigate through rather using the switchboard
manager be of benefit?

sharing the front-end, really doesn't buy you anything.

The database is split, there is one front end accessed via a link on our
intranet as opposed to having a front end loaded on individual work
stations.
The actual drive the front end is located on is not visible/accessable to
the
end users.

first point of resolution is to be sure that this is a split database and
