This is probably a dumb question, but how do I send the front end to the users. Do I email it? Can it be placed on the local server for them to access it? How is it saved on their local computer?

You can email but will probably have to place in zip folder first.
You can place on network server for them to copy to local computer.
Frontend needs to have links set to backend that will remain stable for all workstations. Options:
1. All users have the same drive mapping as the table links in frontend
2. Use UNC pathing in setting links, use VBA code to do this. Review https://www.accessforums.net/showthread.php?t=68440
How to attach file: http://www.accessforums.net/showthread.php?t=70301 To provide db: copy, remove confidential data, run compact & repair, zip w/Windows Compression.
Please feel free to download and use my free utility that would do just that: http://forestbyte.com/ms-access-util...a-db-launcher/
It should have enough instructions to help you set it up but please let me know if you need help with it.
