lHello everyone,
I'm developing a database that is currently 3500kb in size. This will be a
shared database in a LAN/WAN environment with approximately 100 users using
it. Some users like to keep the database open througout the day while others
open it on an as needed basis and then closes it when they're done. So, I
would say about 50% of the users will most likely have the database open at
all times and entering data simultaneously.
My worst fear of rolling this out to the organization is how Access gets
locked and preventing other users from access. I have the database splitted
between the front-end and back-end. I've also read from this focus group
that the front-end file needs to reside on the end-users PC? Do you mean
that the front-end database need to be stored in their local drive or can it
be as a shortcut from the network?
Can anyone give me advise on how I can prevent potential lock-up? Any
advise or suggestion will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Nyla
