Open Exclusively Only

[Guest]

Is there a way to make a database automatically open exclusively?

I have an app that needs to be rewritten for a multi-user environment, but
would like to make it available now to some users and have it open in
exclusive mode when they click on the icon.

Is this possible?
Is there some other way to achieve the same thing?

You can give them a shortcut that uses the exclusive command line
argument...

"path to MSAccess.exe" "path to MDB" /excl

That of course would mean that only one of them would be able to use it at a
time. Is that your intent?

That is exactly my intent. I only want one person at a time to be able to
use it.
