This will most likely have a simple resolution but I am beating my head
against the wall trying to figure it out....
I have a FE/BE application designed and built (access 2000). Everything
works fine but now it is time to migrate the BE to a server for multiple

I have several questions concerning how Access 97 transfers data across the
LAN.  Our database has the following configuration.  FE is located on the
user’s pc.  The BE is located on the LAN.
It is my understanding that Access transfers entire tables included in a

We have been operating a company administration database in Access 97 for
approximately 5 years.  It is a FE/BE system with the front end on client
machines and the backend on our main file server.
At present, we have approximately 80 users with some users remote accessing

I am thinking of producing a runtime Access DB application with a MySQL back
end.  Has anybody had any experience with this?  If so, what are the
pitfalls?
Thanks

My machine crashed while in our database.  Now there is a locked ldb file I
can't get rid of.  Without getting rid of the ldb file i can't move my
corrected database to the network.  I can't restore a database because the
network thinks its still in use by someone.  

When networking an application can the database (_be) be on one of the
machines that will be running the application or does it have to be on a
deciated server?
Thanks

i'm having problems with an overflow error (6).

When you make a new user, is that a database user or windows user?
I ask because I just tried creating a ne user and I get the error
message "Cannot update.  Database or object is read-only."

Can anybody advise me on the number of concurrent users MS Access 97 can
realistically support in a FE/BE design?
Currently we have about 80 users.  However, the size of the database is
comparatively small (approx. 120MB, maximum number of records in a table is

I have a FE and BE for a database.  I just want users to use a form in
the FE to add/update data in tables in the BE.  How do I set up the
permissions so a user can not modify the data through the linked
tables, only through a form (that uses sql commands to update and

I have a Quality Assurance database.  Inspectors currently input data at
desktops via wired LAN.  Can I do the same with wireless laptops?
The plan is to have 10+ wireless laptops with same front ends feeding the
data to a main laptop with the back end main database.

What are the licensing requirements for using a run-time version of an
Access database on a Terminal Server?
Is only one Access license required for the server installation?  What are
the license requirements for client access to the back-end data?
