Each of your users can use separate temp tables in your SQL Server database.
Contact your DBA for instructions and any necessary permissions that he
needs to grant your users.

Perhaps you don't have a DBA or you can't get organizational permission to
create temp tables in SQL Server, and you'd like to store a copy of these
records temporarily in the Access database? (SQL Server would be far more
efficient, so that's what I'd recommend.) If so, a MakeTable query or Append
query into an existing table will protect the records from being changed
while the other users are fiddling with the originals stored in SQL Server.
Use this temp table as the data source for the TransferText( ) method.

HTH.
