You can set max_connections higher, and unless your shared-buffer settings are very low that should be fine. Where you may encounter problems is if the Access users have open transactions which can end up blocking other clients. I seem to recall a timeout option in the ODBC manager that should disconnect them after a certain time. -- Richard Huxton Archonet Ltd ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: subscribe and unsubscribe commands go to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
