I have a peer to peer network using XP. I have 5 people that need to share one MS Accss Data base. I have checked the security section and it is shared. The difficulty is that only two or three folks can be on at on any one time. I was hoping that all of us could be working at the same t ime.

Any thoughts on how to accomplish this?

Thanks in advance for your time

Do you all connect to the mdb or have you split to front end / back end?

What AOG was asking is whether your db is split into the front end and the back end. The back end being the portion of the db where the tables containing the data resides. The front end being the portion of the db where all of your forms, codes, query, etc exist. It is more efficient and stable using this method. The way it works is that you place the back end in a server or in a networked computer. The users from their network computer then access the back end with their full copy of the front end. The tables in the front end are linked tables to the back end

Okay, thank you. The db is all on the front end. there is no server, as we are onto a peer to peer lash up. We are in a construction trailer/office and the db should handle all oour needs, but we just can't get everyone on at the same time. That the issue. any thoughts?

The way to do it is to split your database to front end and back end. There is too much that can go wrong with everyone linking to the main db as corruption will become more common. If that happens, then all of your data will become inaccessible. The preferred way is to split your db into the front end (where your forms, queries, codes, etc resides) and the back end (only your table for data exist). You have to designate a computer in your network to store the back end. Everyone will be working with their own copy of the front end in their computer. The tables in the front end db is linked to the back end in your designated computer. If you need further help on this topic, just write back
