sharing .adp non exclusive

Guest

I've just finished an Access Project (adp
Wich is stored on a location on the server
The users have rights to add forms/query's and reports
But when opening the adp file only the first person who did this has these rights
This behaviour is not quite perfect for our organisation
We would rather have a way that the user who want's to edit something in the adp opens it exclusive

Is it possible to setup the .adp file so it opens non exclusive when opening with a normal open fil
and to have another way to open the file exclusive?

Hi,

Not sure if this something you are looking for but here's what you can try
to see if it fits your situation:

- Create a macro "macro1" that opens a Form in design view

- Use the following command line to open your database (or use a shortcut)
msaccess.exe "C:\Program Files\Microsoft
Office\Office10\Samples\NorthwindCS.adp" /x macro1

What happens is that the Form I specified opens in design view resulting in
the ADP file opening in exclusive mode. If another user does the same they
will get the message can't save changes.

If I use the same command line to open the ADP file that has already been
opened in exclusive mode would receive the warning message.


I hope this helps! If you have additional questions on this topic, please
respond back to this posting.
