I have just created a very basic database for my company that tracks work in
progress, collections, etc.  Being the typical Beginner-to-Intermediate
user, I am dangerous in that I am willing to implement new found concepts
way before I know what I'm doing!

We're just upgrading to Access 2000 under a thin-client
(Citrix) environment.
We have previously been able to determine which users are
locking Access databases by using the Msldbusr.dll from

We have several departments that use the same database but not all need
access to the same form, data, or field.
We only just split the DB today after years of using it in a whole
single DB form, and I am not sure of all I can do with it yet.

The Microsoft Access Product Group (the people who build Microsoft Access)
want your help! One of the main things we're working on for the near future
is a conversion tool to take Microsoft Access 97 databases (primarily, but
also Microsoft Access 2000 or 2002/XP databases) up to ...

Can anyone help me with access2002.
I have created a mdb in access2002, and in visual C++ tring to open this but
it complains "unrecognized database format", but when I convets it to
access97 it works normally.

Anybody tell me max limit of how many users can connect to
my .mdb (MS Access XP) file to enter data from remote
system (MS Access 2000) at a time. Advise me for security
measures also. Also tell me nice way to develop client

I'm having a problem I've never encountered before:
I have an Access 2000 database on a PC with Windows 2000,
networked with 3 other PCs (2 have Windows 2000, 1 has XP)
and the database folder keeps getting unmapped from the

I am using terminal Services to run an A2K application consisting of a
FE and BE both on a W2K server.  How do I get to the local printer at
the remote site rather than the printers connected to the server?

Greetings. I have a desktop Access app (split into back-
end and front-end) that is currently used/updated by a
single person.
The next phase of the project has arrived, which is to

Hope somebody can give a clue to the following error we are now
getting:

This may have been answered before, but I can't find it...Besides the
code listings that will terminate an inactive user after a period of
inactivity (*using the Timer event), can anyone share some ways to force
users off if necessary? We have situations, for example, where we have

   I'm using an old access 97 database that was provided with MSAccess
Runtime.  Most of the functions(forms, reports) of this database work with
the exception
of doing updates to the records.  Everytime that we tried to use this

I have delivered a small Access database.  The backend is on a network file server (Novell network).  Each user has a copy of the same front end with the forms and reports.
When bugs are discovered I need to rework forms and send them to the client so they can update their client ...

need to add what could be in some cases a large number of records to a
table all in one operation. It would be from an access front end linked to
sql server2000 backend table (jet-connected ODBC).
I will be keying off of one field in one recordset to use as the key field

Is it possible to determine when a user opens a mdb to determine if other
users are currently using the mdb and if they are only allow the current
user to read-only access?
I'd like to do all of this through VBA code if possible.
