    Access Database For PDA's

    I use DB Anywhere on my ipaq hx4700. You can convert your access BE to mobile access format and build a new FE for your pda in DB Anywhere. It doesn't support autonumber though so I converted my autonumber field to number and generate my own numbers both on the PC and the PDA. Microsoft active...

    Ms Access on a Pocketpc PDA

    You need to buy a program like DB Anywhere available from http://www.pocketgear.com/ . You can then use your active sync to convert your db to pocket access, synchronise changes, and build your new queries and forms on your pda. hth John

    About Ready to Give Up on Access

    Pushing the FE to your users is quite straight forward. Create a folder on each workstation and put a copy of the FE in there. Use a shortcut to allow them to open it. As for updating the FE keep a clean copy of the db in a folder on the server, create a dos batch file copy clean file FEon...

    sharing database across a WAN

    You have to buy the correct number of licenses for terminal services to cover the number of concurrent users. Windows server software comes with one for administrative purposes but additional licenses can be purchased. I beleive this may be dependant on which edition, i.e. with server2003 small...

    sharing database across a WAN

    If they have a windows server you may find using terminal services on the server and remote desktop on the workstations a good solution. You would keep the db in one location and performance should be acceptable subject to the server being beefy enough etc. as all you are doing is transfering a...

    Access not opening across a network

    If the permissions are OK check which service pack you have for Office 2K. I have had this problem and fixed it by installing the latest sp which I think is SP 2.

    Why can't 2K/XP users run ART without Admin Rights?

    You may find that the rights of the user do not allow them to create / modify files on their workstation, where as the administrator has those rights. If that is the case you need to work with the network administrator to change their rights for the folder where your mdb is stored.

    network performance

    I'm facing the same issue, but only when Windows 2k with all the service packs, or Windows XP is the server PC. If I put the data files on a Win 98 pc I get all of my speed back. Will check my record locking but am pretty sure record locks are set to no locks.
