Split database
Ray,
In a multi-user environment, splitting is a must, in order to avoid frequent corruptions. I've known cases of monolithic multi-user databases (mine - before I knew - and others') which went on for months before the first corruption incident, but even so it is always just a matter of time, and when it starts it tends to get worse by the day. In other words, the advantage of splitting boils down to one word: data integrity. The disadvantages are performance and complexity of maintenace, but thanks to the good man by the name of Tony Toews (whom you definitely know, if you've been in these newsgroups a few times) there are good solutions for both; check out the following links: http://www.granite.ab.ca/access/performancefaq.htm http://www.granite.ab.ca/access/autofe.htm Browse through the multiuser newsgroup, you are likely to find some interesting stuff in there.
