I did this without VB. For this type of environment, it may be easier
and less time-consuming to use the Access Developers Toolkit (ADT). You
build you app in Access (probabbly ver 2.0 since you are still Win 3.1)
and tell ADT to create a network install and you're ready to install a
run-time product off of the server. There are a few things to look out
for like all users need to map the shared drive to the same letter/path
or you will need to a bit more work in the application.
You will have 2 MDB's, one with the forms, reports, queries, macros,
modules and links to the tables in the other mdb on the server.
Have fun.
