Re: Pros & Cons of sharing a front end MDB (Client workstation vs. Server)

So what I have read about sharing Access over the WAN

No, each user on a Terminal Server should have their own dedicated
copy of the front end, stored in their user profile.

Stored where in their user profile?

Anywhere you like. The user has full control of everything in that
location, which is the point of a user profile.

So a user profile then consists of the data stored in their folders on the server if
on a domain? I thought there was hidden data of some sort somewhere.

However this isn't always a good solution. When using Citrix the users profile may
be on a machine 3000 miles away from the Citrix system and the server on which the BE
resides.
