<<You should also consider the possibility that someday you may hire an
employee, or want to make the data available on the web. Anything can
happen! A split database also gives you the option of creating a .MDE
file,
which is basically a locked front end. The users can only work from the
forms you create and never see the underlying data. >>

Aha!  Thanks, Anthony.  Yes, there is a definite possibility that I
would one day want to have forms on my website that would populate
tables in my database....so this makes a lot of sense.  Although I
didn't think forms on a website were the same as Access forms.  I
thought they already *were* separate.  Are you telling me that I can
actually put an Access form on my webpage?  Here, all along, I thought I
had to use an html form and have that point to the Access database.

Ok....now who wants to explain the difference between mde and mdb?

LOL  I bet you guys are glad I chose to spend my boring snowed-in day
asking you all about Access A to Z, eh?
