Re: Open append text files for update simultaneously

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Whether you go with Access or SQL Server, it's a multi-user database, so
having multiple users opening the file simultaneously isn't a problem. With
Access, you can get reasonable performance with 10-20 users having the
database open simultaneously; with SQL Server, you can have hundreds (maybe
even thousands) of users connected simultaneously without a problem.

(Note: some versions of Access use "Exclusive" mode by default, that only
lets one user at a time use the database...make sure that's disabled under
"Tools", "Options", then on the "Advanced" tab, make sure "Default open
mode" is set to "Shared".)
