office.

That is the user you'll want to login with when making any design changes,
or creating new objects.

Is it possible that by logging into the DB where the main menu is
that any of the other DB's can be accessed without logging into each
one?

Quite possibly. Remember that the workgroup you are using is for the
session of Access. As long as all those mdb files were secured with the
same workgroup file, then yes once you login to one, you can open any of the
others during that session of Access.

I think it likely unnecessary to have that many frontend mdb files (50!).
