Shared database

[Guest]

Hi all,

Few days ago my manager asked me to desgin a new Access database that's
going to be used by 10 users in 10 different countries,actuallu i've designed
many databases before ,an i put the source on a shared folder,so all the
users can connect to it easily,but to make 10 users from 10 different
countries log to a database,this is very new for me...
Can anybody help?

Realistically, you can't have a multi-user database shared across the WAN.
You might want to read what Albert Kallal has to say about using Access over
the WAN at http://www.members.shaw.ca/AlbertKallal/Wan/Wans.html
