No, when we made the change had no impact whatsoever. You may need to relink
your tables, but that should be the extent of it. -- Hope this helps, Daniel Pineault http://www.cardaconsultants.com/ For Access Tips and Examples: http://www.devhut.net Please rate this post using the vote buttons if it was helpful.

Access 2003 and DFS file system
I haven't tried putting the backend db on a DFS share, but if you have
multiple DFS hosts with users simultaneously attached to more than one host, I would be worried about concurrency issues and file conflicts. I don't see how Access, which is a file share database, could work successfully this way. I see that Daniel reports it works fine, but I would think it only works fine if you have a single DFS host. Daniel, did you have multiple file hosts with users connecting to the different hosts simultaneously? "Daniel Pineault" wrote in message ... No, when we made the change had no impact whatsoever.

Access 2003 and DFS file system
wow-- you're friggin crazy dude
SQL Server works great over any network, don't let these kids blame DFS! if Jet doesn't fit into your network infrastructure, then you should move to SQL Server (and hopefully ADP). Jet doesn't work over WAN, VPN, LAN, Wireless-- Jet doesn't work over anything invented in the past 50 years. What makes you think that it would be flawless on DFS? Jet just isnt' reliable enough for real developers. -Aaron MCITP: DBA SQL 2005 On Dec 14, 11:14*am, MrDeej wrote: Hello! My IT-department just upgraded to DFS instead of a single fileserver.
