Filips Benoit

Dear All,

DB on the server opened by remote desktop.

I want only 1 user at the same time to be able to open the DB by clicking a
shortcut-icon.

Thanks,

Filip

I want only 1 user at the same time to be able to open the DB by clicking a shortcut-icon.

In the shortcut include the /excl argument. That will open the file
exclusively. First user in will automatically lock out anyone else.

The shortcut has to point to the Access executable to include arguments,
not just to the file.
