I want to add a few more users to the users group.  Is this as simple as
adding them in the users group or will this adversely affect the security and
such.  Also, I need to split the DB and I was wondering if I should add the
new users first, or split it first.  Thanks.

You don't want to add users to the 'Users Group' at all.  That group normally has no permissions whatsoever.  If you mean that you have a group that you created and you want to add users to it, then just use Tools, Security, Accounts -- create a new user and add them to whatever groups you want.

It makes no difference whether you add users before or after a split.  The usernames/passwords are stored in the mdw file; permissions are stored in the mdb.

Do not use the database splitter wizard to split your secure database; the resulting backend will be completely unsecure.  Instead split it manually:
