I just read a post recently about going into Tools/Options/Advanced and making sure the db was set to open as shared. It was NOT, so I set it to shared. My (dumb) question is this....do I have to go to each individual user's computer, open the db, and set it to shared?
The reason I ask......previously, we would get an error occassionally that the db could not be opened because it was opened exclusively by user x. I thought changing it to shared would solve this problem but it hasn't.
A couple other things worth mentioning.....
* I only today split it into a front end/backend
* The users have a shortcut on their desktop that points to the front end (previously the entire db, until I split it today) that resides on a network folder. Do I need to copy it directly to their PC?
TIA
