Peter, I should have posted a reply to my own post that you have kindly answered - I needed to change the connection statement in the Access VBA for reconnecting Word to Access, so as to point at the workgroup .mdw file on the server PC. I used the Network Places address for it. With that I have been able to copy the Access front end to both PCs local to the server PC and to remote ones.

Quite!
I am now facing a new problem - how to point Jet OLEDB:System Database
at the PC that acts as server for other PCs.
Not sure why you would need this for /Word/ if you have removed the need
to connect to Access data sources, but if it's so that users can
generally speaking get at Access databases, then I think you have to put
the path in the registry. Probably better to google that and ask in an
Access group if you don't find the necessary, although I can probably
dig it out for you if necessary.
