re: opening more than one instance of a database


If you plan to install the database on a network and allow multiple users to
access it, that's the wrong thing to do. You need to split the database and
give each user his own copy of the frontend.

How do you know what the OP meant? Here's what he said right above where he
asked
"im not sure how I would do this...."

" im looking to allow my database to be open in multiple instances, how
would i enable this?"
