Number of users on Access

P

paul

I am running a highly detailed database and have approx
60 users at any given time. The system keeps crashing. I
know that Access can only handle approx 255 connections.
Is there any way around this???? Im banging my head
agaist the wall looking for a solution.

There's an introductory presentation on Access in a Multiuser Environment
that I did for my user group that you can download from
http://appdevissues.tripod.com. It will identify topics that I thought
worthwhile to discuss, and a bit more. The best collection of detailed
information and links on the subject of Access in the multiuser environment
is at MVP Tony Toews' site, http://www.granite.ab.ca/accsmstr.htm.

If you have multiple users logging in to the same copy of the front-end
(queries, forms, reports, macros, and modules) or a monolithic database (all
objects including tables and data), the probability of corruption is
significantly increased.

If you can clarify with some detail, perhaps someone can be of more help.
