delete records from multi-user database

[Dave]

I have put together a multi user database with the back
end on our server and multiple users entering data via
front ends on their computers.
Will I be able to delete records from the back end while
other users are accessing the backend tables from their
computers? Or will the other users have to close their
front ends?

Will I be able to delete records from the back end while
other users are accessing the backend tables from their
computers?
Yes.

Or will the other users have to close their
front ends?

No. If they're currently editing one of the records that the other
user is attempting to delete, whoever got to the record second will
get an error message.
