deploy access database on a domain network

[JohnGo]

Might be a stupid question as I know a lot of access but it's the first time I'm doing this:
What's the easiest way to deploy an access database (mdb) on a domain network to clients?

Do you have remote access to their network?

I have done this and am currently using this setup. Split your db into Front end and Back end. I placed both halves on the server and simply e-mailed a link around to whomever would be using the program.

This makes any location changes easy to do as you simply have to e-mail another shortcut if the databases change physical location on the network.

Also, you could place the front end on the user's machine but if any location changes happen you will have to visit each machine and relink the tables.

You will need your network administrator to set up permissions on the server folder(s) so that only the people that are supposed to use the program will have access to it.

Additionally, set up any security in Access that will be required.

Its not as hard as it sounds

Ok today I will have a look
I have small business server and will connect to it using a laptop via remote desktop client (terminal service).
I will be editing records in same table direct via my user interface at the server and on the client and will see what results will happen.
