Question Server and Access Simple question

[Joe8915]

If access is loaded on a server, Do you have to have access on your computer to run the access on your computer?

I am hope I ask that correctly

Normally Access would not be installed on a server. If this is the case if you launch the application via a shortcut that points to the server then MS Access will be ported accross the network along with the data. Also this does not bode well as it suggests that more than one user may be accesing this application on the server at the same time.

This is a reciepe for disaster and corruption. Access should be installed on the client side if not then a runtime version of the front end should be on the client side which points to the server side data which is shared amongst users.
