I created an application and saved it to a company server. I then split the
database and created an MDE file. Using the MDE file, I copy it and then past
it to each user's desktop.
Access 2003
My questions is this, would it cause any problems if the user runs multiple
sessions? With the application already open; I have one user that wants to
have the db open twice so that she can flip back and fourth.
Is this generally a bad idea or is ok to do? Although I've never tried it
for fear of breaking the app. she say's it has worked in the past.
Thx!

Should be possible, she might not see the changes immediately in the other
database though.

While that's an easy method, it can lead to locking issues.
You might want to learn about opening multiple form instances. I've
done that for clients who were doing exactly the same thing and they
much prefer flipping back and forth between the two or three open
forms than flipping between multiple instances of Access.
