I have a database application, split into a front-end (ACCDE) and a back-end (ACCDB) in Access 2013.
The back-end contains ONLY data tables. The front-end contains everything else.
What I've read about this scenario indicates EACH user should have their OWN copy of the back-end.
My problem: all users are getting into the ACCDE file using Access through a Citrix application server, it is NOT locally-installed.
Is an individual copy of the front-end necessary? If so, why?
What problems might I encounter if these users access the SAME copy of the front-end stored on a network share -- if they can?
