I have an Access .adp application that needs to be deployed to dozens of
users. Up to this point, I have been creating one folder on a network drive
for each user. Within each folder is a copy of the .ade. I needed to do
this because if I placed on .ade within a "common" folder, the second user
launching the .ade would get a read-only message, meaning that the second
user could not perform updates (as long as the first user was using the
..ade).


Is there a way to mark the .ade in a common folder as "multi-user" update?


Thanks in advance,

Dean S

I believe that the 2nd user would be able to update; they just wouldn't
be able to edit forms and reports

just copy it to the desktop via a batch file run through active
directory
