[DUG] List working?

IIRC all that upsizing crap came out with Access 2000 in order to 
further embed the access worm in business systems, and therefore support 
full MSSQL. I think the plan was this..IT departments had defended their 
fiefdoms from user driven Access applications by saying that it was a 
lightweight, ie no Database Server Backend, when M$ launched MSDE (which 
is cleverly crippled so that it would have minimal effect when used as 
an Access backend) they added into Access 2000 the "upsizing wizard" 
which would remove this objection by the technocrats

That was the plan anyway

 From the access 2000 help

Share only the tables in the Access database

You can put only the tables on a network server, and keep other database 
objects on users' computers. In this case, the Access database's 
performance is faster because only data is sent across the network. 
Also, users can customize their forms, reports, and other objects for 
their individual needs and preferences without affecting other users.

M$ have never suggested that Access is non multi-user
