Hey everyone,
I am in desperate need of your help. I have a split database that I am trying to enable multi users access to the database. I created a folder on the share drive with the front end and a folder on share (BEN) with the backend. I have changed the settings via options, advanced options, and checked that shared box however it will still not allow everyone into the database at the same time. Is there something that I am missing? Should I then right click and copy and paste the front end to local PC since the tables are split and still on the share drive???? I plan on using security in the future will this cause a problem???Thanks

Do all users have read/write rights on the shared folder?
Access needs this to create/ write the locking info in the .ldb file.
 
Peter,
Would that be the listed users when you click on the properties of the folder??
 
Yes, but also groups listed like guest or all (IMHO you should deny these two access).
To explain further, everyone that is allowed to open the database should have read/write access to the folder where the back-end is stored, those who are not allowed to open the database should have no rights to access the folder.
