You must have a network for the computers that users would be used.
Then paste the database you created on the shared network folder.
That means all users from different computers open this database
from the same location (folder). So changes made on both computers are saved
on the same file.

You need a mapped drive and folder on the server, that is the same on every PC. For example, I use Z:\Bissau
Assuming your database is called mydb.mdb, copy it onto the server and rename it mydbdata.mdb. Put another copy on the server, call it mydbcode.mdb. Now on mydbdata and delete all querys, forms, reports, macros and modules, i.e. just leave the tables.
Now go into mydbcode and delete all the tables. Then go into the File menu option, Import, and select Link Tables. You are presented with a browse button, select mydbdata and select all tables.
You now have a code db that you can copy onto each of your pcs, which links to the data db on the server. Each PC must map to Z:\bissau (or your own folder and drive)
The code db can go anywhere, but the data db must stay in the drive and folder you used to link it with, on all PCs
oh yes, I forgot, take a backup before you start this, just in case

There's no better way to say it than how you did. :)

Hi!
I started working with .NET and I have some doubts about how to work with
multiuser database. I am using VS2008 with MySQL through ODBC for Windows
Form.
1. Is it correct to create a DataSet with all tables in the form load? And
how can I be notified if some other modifies the database, to update the
DataSet?
2. What is better: to update the database via DataSet or via SQL command?

I want MS Access to act as a reporting tool accessing Oracle tables.
The Oracle database is populated by another database application, but
this application cannot create the report I want in this situation. I
can easily develop the application I need to create the report and I'd
like to deploy this tool as a published application over Citrix so
users can simply fireup Access, run the report and print.

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
