Have you tried multiple logins, on a Linux station/server and all sharing a single Access copy running through the Wine emulator? Then you can either use XRDP, a RDP connection from other Windows/Mac/Linux stations on the network. (Just a simple remote desktop) ...or... via a Linux thin terminal server if you need full network and internet access. How legal is this? If you as a single user, using a single package on a single computer and only extending your access; is this legal? Note: Linux automatically handles and optimizes multiple cores so all packages running in this environment are extended these capabilities.

Since multi-tasking is a charade, albeit a fast one, two copies of software cannot run at the same time, even if one is in the VM and the other one is native. The situation is like that of a card dealer dealing out cards to various players. Each process gets a brief moment in the sun, then next process. Hence it's impossible for two copies on one machine to run at the same time. :) A. -- AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com
