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?
