I have just relaunched my web site www.therareshop.com. It uses an off
the shelf shopping cart template spiffed up by a web programmer. Access
serves as the backend database. I noticed by accident in testing that if
two users click on the same product link at the same time one will get a
"file in use" error. Not very good for the hundreds of simultaneous
shoppers (hey I can dream can't I). Is this a) bad design or b) a
function of Access and c) is there a fix besides using SQL server?
