How is the database split? Do you have only tables on a back end on a server? Are the tables linked? How do users access those tables? Are all users mapped to the same drive letter and path for the back end?
What is in the front end?
Is the front end an application that resides on the users' desktops, or is there a single copy of the front end on a network drive that all users open with a shortcut?
