42 FE's and 1 BE
"Vinnie" <vinootz[ at ]comcast.net> 14.09.2006 06:01:04
Greeting All,

Ive never had to do anything like this (Newbie).

I am building a DB to conduct some Voting.
Consists of 42 Voters.
I have created the Tables I need for it, created the forms and split it.
Now Im in the process of testing.

Question is?
What should the relations look like for the below basic set up? I put down
what I bave so far.
I dont want to run into the records being "locked", and then Error box pops
up and says "Save Record, Drop Changes, Cancel". I think I have the
relationships all hosed up. And I dont think Im using the primary keys
correctly.
But not sure. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Also, is 42 Frontends linked to to 1 BE too much? Not alot of data, mostly
Scale of 1-10 Dropdown Choice Questions, or a lookup of names to vote for.
I know you will most likely require a lot more info to really help me, but
just wanted to see if something really sticks out like a sore thumb.

tblSeat-PK
tblSeatID-PK (No Dups)
SeatNumber (No Dups)
Name

tblQuestion1

SeatNumber (LookUp) One to Many

Thanks as always !
Vincent

This troll posts similar things under a number of different aliases. You can
safely disregard the admonition.

Without knowing the details of the application, I can't be more definite
than: if each response is creating a new record (as seems likely) then you
should not have record conflicts. 42 users is not too many for a
well-designed, well-implemented multiuser application; in fact, it seems
likely that you may have very few users logged in at any given time and it
is only concurrent users that "strain" Access multiuser.
