Is there any special considerations or issues regarding how one would best develop more than one front end database that would share a backend table.

I have one finished application that has a backend table populated with employee records and I now have a new database development request that could benefit by using the same employee table.

I'm thinking that simply linking both applications to the same employee table in the backend .mdb may be a solution, but would like some feedback from the forum regarding any similar situations.

Thanks

We have a similar employee table. It is only updated from one application, but linked to another 5 or 6 databases. Just keep an eye on the record locking if it can be updated from more than one app.
