I'm wondering how many different users on different workstations can
open the same ade file residing on a server. Is there a limit and how
would I trap any errors?
I recall reading some postings that there is some kind of limit at 20 users per
ade/adp. However this isn't a good idea anyhow. The following actually works for
any kind of file Access MDE/ADE, VB .exe, etc.
I specifically created the Auto FE Updater utility so that I could make changes to
the FE MDE as often as I wanted and be quite confident that the next time someone
went to run the app that it would pull in the latest version. For more info on the
errors or the Auto FE Updater utility see the free Auto FE Updater utility at
http://www.granite.ab.ca/access/autofe.htm at my website to keep the FE on each PC up
to date.
In a Terminal Server or Citrix environment the Auto FE Updater now supports creating
a directory named after the user on a server. Given a choice put the FE on the
Citrix server to reduce network traffic and to avoid having to load objects over the
network which can be somewhat sluggish.
