Holding constants in a multi-user environment.

I am holding some processing constants in a one entry table but this causes
problems when other users are involved as they share the same constants.
Could someone please direct me to some help.  Do I need to identify each
user and keep separate entries in the table for each user?  I am not very
good at VBA and survive on macros.

Thanks,

Chris - Canberra, Australia.

Multi-User apps should be split with a shared data file and each user having
their own local copy of the front end file.  Then these kinds of tables can be
placed in the front end where they don't interfere with each other. A shared
table with a row per-user would work also, but there are many other reasons why
a split app is better.

Thanks Rick. So obvious!  Does the splitting wizard allow a table to be left
in the front-end?
