multiple PCs accessing the same database

[Guest]

I'm having a fit trying to get users and groups set up for a certain
database. I set it up on my PC thinking that the settings were just for the
database, not all, but apparently it affected all of my databases on my PC.
I want portable settings I can use for this single database because I want
multiple users to use it, just not edit the forms, etc. How can I do this?

Thanks!

Step one, it sounds like you are using some sort of LAN. If so the
database should be split. Next, could you be a little more specific about
the "settings" you are talking about?

I explain how to do a multi-user setup here.

Note at the end (after my signature), I also explain that for workgroup
security...you need to setup a shortcut.

more importantly.. MDB can't and shoudln't be run across a network.
never once, never for a single record.

access data projects are a lot better; much better.. long term solution

i really reccomend using adp in order to learn SQL; i mean-- it's just
a much much much more robust system

Please ignore the troll.

im not a troll; i speak from years and years of experience.

mdb doesn't cut the cheese anymore; it might have been 'good enough'
and 'fast enough' back in 1995.

but it is no longer 'good enough', 'stable enough', 'reliable enough',
'secure enough'

enough is enough kick your MDB sissies to the curb and go out and get a
real database

like MSDE or SQL Server
