Mike Thanks for the suggestion. I will give it a try.

Yes the backend is on the shared drive. The peer to peer network is where we link all PC's via a router rather than a server. One of the PC's acts as the host, which has the public drive, and all other PC feed information from that.

The database shows as shared and no locks. Is there another Multi User setting I need to adjust. Thanks for your assistance. If not I will try and create a new database to test if corruption could be the problem.

Yes I have checked and all the forms are unlocked. I agree that it is not the form, but the tables that are linked to the form, that seem to lock once a user in in them. It locks all tables in the backend, not just the table the form is linked too. I have read, that it could be the users have...

OK, I have spent the best part of a week trying to sort this out, so if anyone can shed any light on it, I would be very very grateful. I have created a database in Access 2007, which I wish to share with my collegues. We all are running Vista, and access 2007, over a peer to peer network. I...

Please Help Is anyone able to shed any light on this problem, or has a similar issue. Regards David

Still trying to figure this out, and it is very annoying :mad: having searched the forums, I tried linking the form to a query, however, the exact same problem persists. I cannot figure out for life of me, why I can go into the forms at anytime, regardless whether my collegue is in the forms...

More Information One more bit of info. My collegues PC does not crash, when it opens a form already in use, it locks, until my PC exits the form. I would like us both to be able to use the form.

Additional Info I have checked the record locks on each form, and these are set to no locks. Thanks David

Please Help Me - Access 2007 problem I have built a database with Access 2007, and intend on sharing the database amongst two users. I am running Vista, and the two PC's or on a peer to peer network. Both with Vista. I have split the database, and put separate copies of the front end on each...

All sorted now. Thanks very much. I think my inexperience did not help

What I have found, is that if you create your form using the design button, rather than the wizard it does not use the select statement, and you can link to the Custome table, and option 3 will appear. My problem is, I have taken a long time to design my table, and if I remove the select...

I am a little confused now. How can I set up the link from the form to the table, without it including the select statement, as it just seems to do this automatically. Thanks David

The record source propert for the form currently states select customers which is the table of the customers, which is where the form input too. Does that make sense, what would I need to change. Thanks David

What does bound to a table mean. The form is currently used to input to a table. Would I need to set up a form that reads from a table and then I could search that. Thanks for your quick response.

I am trying to use the Combo box wizard to set up a seach of my form. When I click on the combo box tool icon, with the button wizard selected when I place the combo box in the form, I only get 2 options. I do not get the third option that allows me to set up the combo box and search my form...
