    What is the best way to "share" a database across users

    Using the built-in "Database splitter" is very simple and quick.(TOOLS, DATABASE UTILITIES, DATABASE SPLITTER). Then you can update all you want without effecting the data.

    Currency or number format

    a legacy of poor table design..... but you can do this: [newfield]=[cost]/100 (format [newfield] as currency) and use in place of cost

    Currency or number format

    In the Design view of the table, did you set the format to "currency"? You can also set the format of the field in a query. just go to the query design view and bring up the Properties of the field. (right click on the field)

    Currency or number format

    Can you link to the database? When you copy the table are you able to go into design view? can you create a query, report or form? The answers to these questions would make it easier to help you

    I want to copy my frontend and customize it

    Yes, go back to the pre split version, back it up and split the copy. They should automatically be linkes as Database_Fe and Database_Be. Make your changes to the frontend and if you need a copy of the frontend or backend just copy them Don't make a Replica! It really is very easy, your only...

    I want to copy my frontend and customize it

    Rick is right. If you move the frontend and backend to a new location you have to use the "Link Table Manager" to refresh the link. ( also it's always a good idea to backup! )

    I want to copy my frontend and customize it

    The forms and reports stay with the frontend. You can do anything you want the the frontend ( add queries, forms, reports etc.) without any change the the backend as long as you use the existing tables and fields. If you do need to make field or table changes then you have to go into the...

    Do I need to make a .mde?

    Its always a good idea to split the database if there is going to be multiple users. I have used a different version of the frontend for different types of users so as to supply them access to only what they need. ( maybe just certain reports) As far as making an .MDE, this will keep users...
