[AccessD] Access 2007 on a network

Mark,

If you have time, could you elaborate on the

"multi-user access/excel environment without the usual lock-out,
read--only conflicts"

I am just starting to work with integrating Excel into an Access
application and I would like to better understand the "lock out" issues,
etc. before I head down the wrong path.

Thanks,
Brad

I'm still a huge fan of Tony Towes AutoFEUpdater.
He really saved my "keezer" in a complex wealth management app that
needed
independent Access Front-ends as well as independent Excel 2010
workbooks...because the client's management preferred a spreadsheet
environment to maintain and view their accounts.
Because of Tony's tool, the app has been rock-solid for 2 months now.
The previous consulting firm was unable to establish a multi-user
access/excel environment without the usual lock-out, read--only
conflicts.
