Creating a workgroup

[Jules]

Once a workgroup is created on my machine and I produce
the relevant level of access per person, the access file
will be distributed to several people on standalone
machines, will the user login still work? Is the workgroup
distributed to? Is this the most secure method for user-
restrictions to be put in place?

If you secured it properly, yes.

Is the workgroup
distributed to?

Users will need access to the workgroup in order to log in and be
recognized. Usually it is put in a shared folder on the server along with
the backend. You can give each user a desktop shortcut that starts the
frontend on their machine and uses the correct workgroup file for that
session (over-riding their default mdw).
The target would look like
"Path to msaccess.exe" "path to frontend" /wrkgrp "path to mdw on server"
