Access dB running on a Windows 2000/citrix server. Often
comes up with "Too Many Active Users" even with nobody
logged in. If anyone logs out of citrix, works OK again
for a bit.

Any ideas greatly appreciated.

Cheers
James

Have you split the MDB and given each user thier own copy?

You want to split the MDB into a front end containing the queries,
forms, reports, macros and modules with just the tables and
relationships. The FE is copied to each network users computer. The
FE MDB is linked to the tables in the back end MDB which resides on a
server. You make updates to the FE MDB and distribute them to the
users, likely as an MDE.

See the "Splitting your app into a front end and back end Tips" page
at my website for more info. See the Auto FE Updater downloads page
at my website to make this relatively painless.. It also supports
Terminal Server/Citrix quite nicely.
