Could you please advise how to work out spliting database in multiuser environment if all useres use forms and reports instead of tables....I believe there should be only backend part on shared drive...

That's correct. The backend, consisting of tables, goes on a shared drive. A copy of the front end, with everything else, goes on each user's PC.

Welcome Megdzia,
NeoPa has created a How-to article that can help you with splitting your database.
Front-End / Back-End (FE/BE)
And you may want to peruse this thread afterwards for ideas on distribution.

Thank you guys for your help...
Have just one more question:
Does it mean that each user wiuld have different front end on their pc's???
Front ends are no linked?riight?
My only concern is that we are using forms only...i.e. ~purchase orders and I don't want 3 people to have different po5575....:( hope that makes sense..Comment

It does and it doesn't ;)
It is possible to use a single, network/shared FE database, although there's no real need for that. PO numbers would be handled by the data anyway, so that would be common to all users.
Typically, users have a copy (identical of course) on their own PC. The only complication here is with releasing versions.Comment
