Security in a Terminal Services Environment

Forgive me if this is an elementary question. I am still very green with
Access.

I am trying to implement security (through the built-in Microsoft Access
wizard) in a terminal services environment. We currently use 4 separate
servers, each having a licensed copy of Access loaded onto it.

I have studied up on the "Microsoft Access Security FAQ" as well as other
sources, and feel I have a decent understanding of how security is designed
to work. My Groups, Users, etc. have been set up, and permissions assigned.


My problem is this -- each user in our active directory has their own
specific default "path" to the workgroup.

I want to be able to implement security across our network (for all Access
databases) without having to change each users default "path" in each server.


Is this possible?

I have been reading this forum and keep seeing that in a terminal services
environment, every user shuld have thier own copy of the front-end database.
I would like to avoid doing this, if possible.

Thanks for your help.
