Using Windows Server 2003 - Recent Build. Microsoft Access 2003 - Latest Build Dont think we can say 50% when it has not been fully tested (<: I tryed it the first time by double clicking the shortcut to a database. Didnt work. Second time I opened Access first and then the File Open to get the database and it worked OK. Didnt bother trying it again last night as my cable is out and was trying to get that fixed.

I then did it again and it worked fine. Two instances of Access open running the same copy of the database.
