Do a google for "Access Multi User". You see in almost all occasions the

if you do decide to use it such, here are some tips....
Access is and always will be a desktop database. The fact that it does do
Multi user doesn't effect that fact. I'm sure you could use Oracle in a
single user app too, but as a developer you should know the strengths and
weaknesses of any particular tool before you start coding, surely?

Don't be dim James are you saying that Access is not intended for DB
applications, The assertion that its ok and was designed for "single
user desktop style" apps and not anything more is crap if it wasn't
intended for " multi user environment" then it shouldn'd effing well
support it (badly or otherwise) should it?

Access is fine - and I use it all the time - for single user desktop style
applications. It's when it gets used in a multi user environment things
can
be a problem, especially when combined with bad design or programming.

Hi,
If you want to know how bad Mickysoft Access is ask any school that runs
musac - this is a student manager program that spends more time being
fixed
than used.
If you want sql, mdse is alright for small apps that need sql & Mickysoft
compatablity.
