[AccessD] Access as web backend

Hi Jim:

How are you connecting to the db? Basically, what type of connection string
are you using? (DSNLESS, OBDC, ADO, OLEDB, etc.)

I've run sites off Access and generally haven't had any problems. You want
to make sure your recordsets only pull the data you need (avoid the "select
* from tblproduct" type statements).

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?
