Multiple users access at same time
Hi - again. In my database, I will need to be able to
have several people adding info at once. If my switchboard opens the forms in "add" mode, can several users be in at the same time? If not, how can I manage this? TIA - BJ |

Yes since each user use a *copy of the Form* on his/her
desktop. However, for a multi-user database application, you should (must, really) split the database into Front-End and Back- End. The Back-End contains only Tables and resides on a shared directory. The Front-End contains all other Access objects and each user should have a copy of the Front-End on his/her PC. See Access Help on splitting a database. HTH Van T. Dinh MVP (Access) -----Original Message----- Hi - again. In my database, I will need to be able to have several people adding info at once.
