Not to be a buzzkill, but Access is really not intended for concurrency in any way. Period. It *can* function to a limited degree with a few simultaneous connections, but not in the same fashion as other database software. The real determination is how it is being accessed. Are you using VB as your application or are you creating Access Forms? Are you using ODBC (preferred) or are you using OLEDB? What is the scope of the application, and how much functionality is necessary to create? My personal opinion would be to drop the exe and build it as an ASP application, which solves the concurrency problems for you by maintaining connections in the ASP connection pool, and has a VERY similar syntax to VB. The functionality lacking, of course, is the basic controls provided by the VB IDE. You cannot simply create a 'form' in ASP the way you do in VB - but that's not necessarily a bad thing. IMO, forms in ASP are FAR more functional, and less of a headache to make perform most requirements. A few things are still rather difficult to accomplish, but not like adding an API layer just to get the right sorting or something. Understandably, this is probably not the way you will choose to go. You might want to give it a good strong look, though. Since I started playing with ASP, years ago, I've really fallen in love with it far more than I ever enjoyed VB. Regards, Shawn K.
