If I split the db into two parts, front end and back. Then make the front
end a mde, while retaining an original copy of the front end, mdb, Can I
then make changes to the front end original and re-make it into a mde and
send to user without them having to re-link or anything as long as the files
were both kept in the same folder?

That's the standard drill, yes.
 
I always keep a copy of the MDB for development linked to a
copy of the backend DB located on my hard drive. At the
time to distribute I make a copy and use the Linked Table
Manager to relink to the production Back End. I then
create the MDE and distribute.
