Re: Problems



You don't specify whether this is a split db or not, but I gather from how
your questions are worded that it isn't.

A split db:
- shared backend (data only) on server
- each user has their own local copy of the Front end (queries, reports,
forms, code, tables linked to backend data)

If it isn't split, that's problem #1, and the 900 lb gorrila among all of
the possibilities.

How many users can safely access a backend mdb file at one time from their
own local front ends? The Access help entry "specifications" says 255.
How many users can *safely* access the same single-file mdb at once?: 1
("safely" means without running the risk of corruption exactly like you are
experiencing)
