Hi guys,
does anyone know if there are issues using Acess on a wireless network? There seems to be problems access the database now that this has been installed... Lots of reboots required etc...

I have read that a Wi-Fi is not recommended for connecting to an Access db. Access freaks out [locks up] if the connection is lost [even for a nano second]. You need to use a wired connection.
 
I can confirm this. In my experience, the problem was not so bad when the database was smaller and straightforward. However, once our database was split to a front-end and back-end, it became virtually unusable over a wireless network.

In our office, 2 PC's are wired and 2 are wireless. Our 2 wired PC's can access the database no problem: the wireless ones suffer constant "Disk or network Errors" and problems with hanging and crashing.
