[AccessD] AXP Question

Nothing is going to do it.  This was a change that occurred in A2000 and
it is a good one.  When you can make design changes while a database is
in use, anyone else who has the app open can overwrite your changes if
they save last.  This way, that doesn't happen.  You may not have run
into problems (or you may not have noticed them), but I definitely did
in A97 when someone had a copy open without my knowledge.  I did a bunch
of work and saved the changes and the next day they were gone!

Subject: [AccessD] AXP Question


I have upgraded a FE database from A97 to AXP successfully,  however, a
major difference that is annoying me is the fact that in a multiuser
environment, I am unable to make changes to the design unless I open
exclusively.

I never had this problem in A97 and now that my users are all getting
upgraded to the AXP FE, I am running across a few areas that need to be
tweaked and can't do it until everyone is out of the db.  This is a
shared network FE.

I should probably give everyone their own copy on their desktop,
however, this database has evolved greatly over the past 3 years and has
required many changes.  I have always been able to make these changes
while the db was being used by others with no problem.  There are about
20 users - so upgrading everyone's FE would be very tedious.

I know there are some automated programs to do the updating, but one I
had tried took too long and was cumbersome to the user.

Any suggestions or ideas - is there a setting I'm missing that would
allow design changes while in use???

Thanks for any help.
