Pradeep- Considering I wrote an entire book on this subject, giving you a full answer on email is going to be difficult! <s> 1. Depending on what your application does and how you have it designed, you can support as few as 2 or as many as 50 or more concurrent users. To get above 20 concurrent users, you probably need to use unbound forms and reports. 2. You must design security to your needs. If you simply need to let some people use the application and others not, use Windows security. If you must control who gets to what parts of the application, use a combination of Access security and application code on top of that. 3. Problems: A poorly designed client/server application will have lots of problems - particularly with performance. Your network must be rock-solid - never use dial-up and use VPN only if broadband. Does that help?

If so, how many users have access and how is security set up? Do you use windows security or is security established through the Access application? Do any of the users have problems accessing network shared drives and if so, do you know why, hardware, PC related..etc. Any recommendations?
