Hi all,
I'm currently working on a multi user database which will be used be approx 50 people. This is the second phase & the initial phase is up & running until I replace it with the latest version.
The thing is..
At the moment, everybody connects to the database via a shortcut to the opening form. Sometimes network errors, locking errors & other nasty things do occur.
Naturally I would like to avoid these wherever possible BUT..
I havent a clue where to start. MDE files, Splitting databases???
Surely it's more efficient to distribute a shortcut to a database to the 50 users (on the same LAN) than have to copy over front-end files to each machine?
I know it's a bit long winded but I'd appreciate anybodys advice as to how I should approach this before I release the next version *& why (if you have time)
Thanks in advance,
Kind Regards,
Patrick
