I have created a split MDB that was intended for use on a single PC.The
user has asked for it now to be setup as a multi-user (without
security) system.
I have placed the "applicatio n" mdb on one PC and linked to the "data"
mdb across a Windows network. The linking works fine, but when I open a
form that is supposed to display records on a continuous form, only
existing records are displayed, i.e. there is no "blank" new record
displaying at the bottom of the form to enable the user to create a new
record.
The system was created in Access 11 (2003), and runs happily on the
first PC under Access 10 (2002) and XP. The second PC (the one across
the network that is giving the problems) is running Access 11 under XP.
Allow Additions is set to Yes for the form, and Data Entry is set to
No.
Any ideas will be gratefully received.
Regards,
Huw Davies.

Can the users edit existing data?
Is the shared folder allowing updates to the logged in Windows user?

This is probably a Windows permissions issue with the folder where the data
is kept ( eg \\DataMachine\D ataFolder)
Get the user who is having trouble to open notepad, create a small text file
and save it to this folder. Make sure he can edit and save it - if not
adjust the Windows permissions.
If you can't do this or it doesn't solve the problem, post back.
Thanks to those who replied. The issue was with the permissions set on
the shared folder that contained the Back End MDB. Once I set these to
allow both read / write access to the network user, the problem was
fixed. Thanks once again.

In order to get the records I want on a report I sometimes create a
SQL string for the RecordSource and sometimes supply the criteria
using the Filter Property. If I use the Filter Property rather than a
RecordSource returning just the values I want is there extra traffic
across the network to bring the unfiltered data to the front end?
Thanks,

Dear reader,
To work with linked tables is a professional method of working with a frond
end and back end mdb.
Working with linked tables on a local pc gives an acceptable performance but
in case you start working with linked tables on a server (network) the
performance will be drastically reduce.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows.
