Sharing a database

66 New Member
Hello everybody:

At my workplace, there is a Access database that is shared between 3 users. We are currently experiencing some problems with the sharing. Let me explain it: I have set the sharing properties (at tools>options) as Database status = Shared (not exclusive) and entry-locked, as well the other lock at record-level. Additionally, I have set an entry lock (record level) in the form properties. Nevertheless, we have a bit of a problem here since when one particular user is working with the form, a second user is not able to work with the form. The entire form, then, seems to be locked as no changes are possible, not only in the record currently changed by the first user, but also the rest of them.
Any ideas of why is this happening?

Thank you very much in advance

Best regards from Barcelona

You may do it in this way.
1. Assume you have a Database on server
2. Create a New Access and Link table to the Server Database
3. Copy the New Access to All the user

or

u can just Split your Database at tools-> Database Utilities -> Database Splitter

so u have front end program and back end database

Thank you very much for youre response. I will try to do what you state in the first place since the database splitter option is disabled in the 97 Access that we have installed here, as well as other useful options...

Best regards

Hi, All! I have two questions: strategic and technical. Technical one first: I need to share an array of objects (implemented as hashes, having references to other objects and hashes, sharing done after blessing) between all of the mod_perl2 threads. The structure can grow quite big - tenths of thousands of array elements. It can grow as system operates (not possible to construct at apache startup). Sharing array is OK, but inserting...

Hi - I'm creating an installation program that will install a VB.NET program and an instance of MSDE on an unknown desktop (commercial application).

Hi, I have some database files (.MDF, .LDF,...) on the server. When I try to delete them, the warning "Cannot delete file: There has been a sharing violation. The source or destination file may be in use." appears. Since I am new to the environment I don't know where the files come from and where they might be used.

Dear All, Is there a way in which 2 application can share a common memory location to access static data? Say for example I have a product master data that is available in a single place, and I have an application that uses this data to do its own operation. I also have a similar kind of another application that uses the same data for its another operation. Can we implement this in C#?

Hello everybody! I have just found out that the sharing properties of a single database (mdb file on a network), accessed by 3 users, change depending on the user accessing the database. That is, with the file opened by 2 users at the same time, in my computer, the sharing properties appeared as set to share (not exclusive) and single entry-lock. Nevertheless, in the computer of the other user, the sharing properties are set to exclusive mode...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
