I created a daily reporting database about 4 years ago so our customer service department could run a multitude of different reports as they needed to.  The database sets out on our server and all of the users have a link to it on their desktops.  99% of the time this database ...

During testing of a new multiuser Access 2000 database, one of the users
received a write conflict in an area where I wouldn't expect it to occur,
i.e., an area where records are appended, not edited.  My understanding is
that this error occurs when two or more users are editing ...

I am running Access 2000 on a Citrix network with multi-users. If 2 users
attempt to enter a new record at the same an issue may arise. In the past we
replaced the entire file with yesterday's backup and rebuilt the latest
records.  Now the file is way too large, too many users ...

I have a small call center and dispatch facility.  We presently dispatch
3 towing companies and 2 taxi companies.  The towing calls are logged to
 a worksheet and transferred to a dos based Answering Service program
and the taxi calls are manually logged and filed.

Friends,
Our company uses an Access db (.mdb) in a network shared folder. Four
employees use this db. Sometimes two or more employees have no problem
simultaneously sharing access to the db.

in my application (developed under Visual C++ 6.0) I work on a MSAccess
database (.mdb)
with ADO routines in a multiuser environment.
In some special case I want to update an attribute in a table: read the

I have a front end system on client machines and the backend on the network.
Occasionally it becomes corrupted with  a record losing its autonumber
primary key in the main table. At times I am able to either do a compact and
repair on the backend, or I may have to delete the record ...

I have a small roof inspection company.  The basic set-up is a customer
calls and request an inspection.  At this point my office staff will input
into access the following:
   1.  Address

I once got help writing a script that referenced the username
to determine whether or not to copy a MASTER.mdb to c:\LocalCopy\FrontEnd.mdb
The script, checked a folder for a dummy file with extension .upd for example:
username.upd

This is a problem that is occurring several times a day,
everyday, seemingly without rhyme or reason.  Here is an
example: Several users are in the database, someone else
tries to open the database and a message pops up - "You or

I have an Access FE that is an MDE with each user having their own
copy. My backend MDB is on the same server, but I am seeing corruption
of the MDB and the message "Unrecognized Database Format". The citrix
server is Win2K SP4.

        I am in a big fix. I put in all this code and made changes to the
form, and set the startup properties not to show database windows or menus (I
was in the process of preparing to make it .mde file)and forgot to make a
copy( i know very stupid of me!!). I have earlier ...

All of the Access applications I have developed have been multi-user where
there was a FE and a BE.  I have inherited a single-user app.  Even though
this is a single user app, it seems like it is a good idea to split the app
into a FE and BE.  To me, this simplifies code changes ...

I currently have a database with multiple users and I have set up workgroups
for security - they need to log-on. The users are divided in groups: PD, PUR,
PPL, PRM, HR & FIN.  I have a field in the main table that lists this group
code.  I want the user who logs on only to have ...

Whaaaa.  By Front end/Back end do you mean forms and queries  vs  tables?
I just "upgraded" to Access 2000 and find that development is now hamstrung
by the rediculous requirement that all the database users must be dumped off
the system to revise a form.  Can this be true. ?   ...
