Alright, so my pride and joy and departmental savior database has been fully implemented and people are so pleased with it that they *all* want to use it at the same time. Initially, I made it custom for three peoples' UI preferences, but since it's such an intuitive design, other staff now feel comfortable using it instead of passing the work down the line to the one person who knows how to use that "newfangled thing".

A couple years ago, I used FMPro and allowing for multiple users at once was an annoyingly complicated process dealing with permissions and rights and accounts and passwords and yadda yadda. Is it any easier to set up in Access? Does anything special even need to be done to allow for multiple simultaneous users?
 
rules 1 and 2 - split the database, give each user a separate front end

good luck for the future
