    Front End Deployment of Split Database in a small enviornment

    I have 15 users that use their own copies of the Front End of a single, small (30M) database. Every time I make a change to the FE, which is frequent, I have to push out the new FE to the desktops of all 15 users. All users use the same kind of PCs, the same Windows 10, and the same Access 2019. The BE is hosted on a shared network folder that all users have full access to. The question is: is there any significant reason that I cant have just ONE FE located on the Shared Network and have shortcuts to this single FE located on each users' desktop so that they all basically are opening the same FE over the network? This would make my updating infinitely easier. Can anyone shed any experienced light on this? thanks in advance!

    You could use one FE...... if you like to live dangerously!!!

    Many users in one FE is a known cause of corruption.

    Autoupdate FE is a common topic. Search the forum or the internet.
