Good morning,
I have a database that needs to be opened in exclusive mode because of the
way that the autonumbers in the db are allocated. It is is a networked
enviroment with each user having a copy of the front end and the backend
residing on the server. I also have a function that I use to ascertain the
username of the currently logged on user and was wondering:
1. Is there a way I can plug the currently logged on username to into a
form/message box telling the next person who tries to log on (if it is still
opened exclusively by the other one) who that user is.
2. Is it possible to have the database close automatically for the second
user if it is currently is use.
Thanks for all the advice. This NG is improving my databases all the time.
