Do all front end access database users need a copy of access on their computers to open/edit the database? I'm the only person that needs to edit the desing or table structure, everyone else just needs to use the database. Thanks

Each user needs their own copy of the frontend, either on the local drive or in their personal folder on the server. I had to install at C:\ root on local machine because of IT restrictions. This thread describes how I manage serving Access project to multiple work stations.
