Terri,

Sharing an FE is a BAD idea to begin with.  Just break down and do the
"Local FE" thing.

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.
