Hi all
I recently split a DB that is being shared among a number of users (currently up to 10 simultaneously). The process went fine, but I have a couple of questions and would appreciate some feedback.
- Before the split the DB file size was about 29Mb. After the split the back end came in at 15Mb but the front end remained at 29Mb (original size before the split). I would have thought the the front end size would have reduced to about 14Mb. Can anyone explain this please?
- All the users are on a local server. Instead of installing the front end on every users terminal, I'd prefer to have the front end remain on the server and have a shortcut on each users terminal point to this. I've seen some posts where this is OK and other where it isn't. None of the users will want to create their own customization on the front end. What are the main disadvantages of this approach?
Thank you.
