Multiuser database

Hi

I wonder if a database can be set in mustiuser mode so a few people can work on it at the same time?

I would appreciate your advise on this.

Thank you

RE: multiuser database

Hi Dorota,

Thank you for your question.

You could split the database which keeps the data(tables) in the main database and creates a new front end database that contains the forms, queries and reports. The front end is linked to the main database.

The other person could open up the front end copy and create their queries, forms etc.

I hope this answers your question.

Regards

Simon

Access tip:

Dsum

You can create percentage values based on individual products / items by using a Dsum function (used with a grouped query)

[Each value column] / Dsum[field:total for the column needed to be calculated],[tablename]
