I have a general question regarding Access ADE files.  I've recently adopted
some  Access applications and have questions regarding multi-user behavior.  
I've noticed on the MDE application that multiple users can be in the same
file located on the file-server at the same time and no read-only errors
occur(on opening).  I've recently created an Access ADP  and moved the same
access tables into SQL-Server.  I've created an ADE file with no problem;
however, when I try and use the ADE file multiple times (same file location)
I get a read-only error once the second user opens the ADE file.  I've
observed MS has a deployment toolkit for building packages to distribute
ADEs.  
1.  Must each client have their own version of the ADE on their client
machine to avoid the "read-only" error? or is there a way to allow multiple
users to use one file?  ( I understand this may not be a best practice).
2.  I understand the fundamental difference between the ADP-MDB/ADE-MDE, I
assumed MDEs and ADEs would behave similarly ( I know what they say about
ASSumptions), why are they different?  (If you know the meaning of life you
can tell me that too!)

Thank you
