Subject: [AccessD] MULTI ENTRY to database


|I am creating a customer database.  the idea is that more than 2
|people can come in the file and update the record.  however, whenever
|there are more than 2 people on the file, there is a message something
|like "you dont have exclusive access to the file, yr work might not be
|saved"...(i set "shared" in tools/ options/advanced/ ) some times, other
can not log on if i am on the file.  then i have to get out before other can
get in.
|is there anyway to solve this?
|
|if i want each person input there initial when the log on the file
|and want to have the file tells me who update the file last, is it
|possilbe.  can it tell the time it was updated?
|
|generally, does access work well with multi entry -  many people working on
same file, doing updates...?
|
|tks for help.
