Walt, On networks, is it OK/possible to have the files live on the server, open on one of the other machines (the primary access and data entry machine), and then access the database on subsequent machines via the Hosts button? If so, do you notice stability problems? If not, how do you daily open the database on the server? Manually? Through some scheduler?
