Access Bug

Hi,

I have a weird problem, I have a database that 10 to 15 people use
daily. Very often they get an error message "Could not Update Currently
Locked" and after that they usually get stack for 10-20 minutes.

I think this is a bug but can anyone help me and tell me how to avoid
it?

Thanks

Why do you think it's a bug?

If any of your code is using so-called "pessimisti c locking", and someone
starts editing a recrd, then goes for a coffee, then comes back 15 minutes
later & saves the record, this is exactly what *should happen*.

Not disagreeing, but, if two forms try to edit records in the same data
page - and they are using pessimistic locking - the second should remain
"locked out" until the first has saved its changes - no? Why is that a
"bug"?

But this can happen (at least in A2K) with No Locks set as the default and
while users are NOT editing records on the same page. I would describe
that as a bug.

I think it's a bug because if you type "could not update, currently
locked" in the Microsoft knowledge base it reports this problem as a
bug.

http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;331594

I admit, I don't really understand all this.

The database is sitting on a server a people access it from terminals,
but noone is using the same record at the same time...

But that error is unlikely to be the cause of your problems unless you are
using transactions :-)

Hi, I'm a bit confused ... when would I rather write an database application using MS Access and Visual Basic and when (and why) would I rather write it using Visual Studio .Net? Is it as easy in Visual Studio to create reports and labels as it's in Access?` The advantage of VS.net is that not every user needs Access, right? And that would eliminate the Access version problem as well I guess.
