ms access on samba share

Has anyone used a ms access backend stored on a samba share with multiple users?  Did it cause any problems?  Thanks!

How many users?  Bob alston might have better input on this, but I've had a couple simultaneous users before without "extra" issue.  By "extra" issue I mean I haven't had issues beyond the normal multi-user Access issues.

About 5 users.

5 users is no problem.

What kind of data entry are we talking about?

I don't quite get what you mean by type of data entry.  Could you give me an example Rog.  Currently I have the backend on a windows 2k server share and it is working fine.  I was a little scared to move it to a samba share.  The front end gets copied to the c drive of the workstations when there are updates.
