A- It's possible to define some global library and local library for a project? At now I haven't find a solution... Yes, you can connect as many libraries to your Protel station as you like. Some of them might be on the network, some on the local drive. Each Protel station can have different libraries connected. You could also have a library inside your_project.ddb. B- How It's possible to avoid invalidity of data in a library when tow people modify the library at same time... You could lock the file. That means that only one person at the time has write privileges to the file. We only allow write privileges to our main library to the administrator. It's better there's only one person who can modifying the library in the work group and all the other modify a local library and after all they ask them to upgrading the global library? That's the way we do it, or rather, quite similar to what we do. C- It's better we use the M$-Access database format or the Windows File system?. We use Access file format for security and space saving reasons. Access file format takes up only a third of the drive space when compacted, compared to the Windows format. D- We have used already the M$-Access database, but some time the files being destroyed by Protel (we use Protel 99SE): have you encountered the same problem? If affermative: have you reach to avoid this so strange trouble? If your database gets corrupted you could do a 'Repair database'. Look into the help files or the book. Thak's in advance.
