Access Locking

Hi can anyone help? - I have an Access database which I use to collect statistics from a webform to produce Management reports. It is not a heavily used database and fewer than six users should ever be updating the database concurrently.

However I have built an Access switchboard which allows a user to enter the database directly and print these reports. Is there any way that this action might lock the db to a web user or corrupt data?

Should I copy the database to a back-up location first and then print the reports or is it not an issue?

Many thanks
Steven
