Access Front end not working for 2 of 10 users and having issue with same functionality

Time:09-17

I have been asked to help out with MS access tool that someone at our work had setup and has since left the company. So I have very little knowledge of MS Access. The tool has a Back end which is split and has 10 front ends. Two people (suppose User_B and User_C) are having issues with their front ends. Rest all users are able to do their work just fine.

Talking to the two users I feel the front end is somehow corrupt. Is it possible to delete just their front-ends and and give them a new copy?

Does it mean I have to split the database again? Or can I simply copy and paste a working front end (say of user_A) and rename it to (say User_B). Would that replicate all the forms and connections?
Also User_C is getting 'Record is deleted' message every time they attempt to click on a particular field, however User_B does not get this error. I found a few articles related to this error and I tried to repair the Database as suggested in those articles but it did not have any effect on the users front end.

Happy to provide more information if needed and any guidance will be appreciated.

Indeed. A proven method is described here: Deploy and update a Microsoft Access application with one click.

However, SO is a code helper forum, so this is OT. If you still see issues, address these to fora like UtterAccess or Express Exchange
