How to get multiple users to use the Database "Newf via AccessMonster.com" <u24600[ at ]uwe> 12.09.2006 13:05:31 I am having problems with letting multiple users use the database at one time. I've been told to make a Front End and a Back End but being a newbie it's a little trouble. Do I have to make one of the ends into a .MDE??? I hope someone can help moi. Thanks Newf -- Newf ~Everyone needs a NEWFIE as a friend~ Message posted via AccessMonster.com http://www.accessmonster.com/Uwe/Forums.aspx/access-multiuser/200609/1

What problems are you having? You don't "have" to make either of the ends into a .MDE, but it's common to convert the Front End in order to prevent users from altering forms, reports, etc. Carl Rapson "Newf via AccessMonster.com" <u24600[ at ]uwe> wrote in message news:662e653275465[ at ]uwe...

Re: How to get multiple users to use the Database "Carl Rapson" <mr.mxyzptlk[ at ]newsgroups.nospam> 13.09.2006 15:55:54 If you want to make your Front End into an .MDE file, then yes, you should do it after the split. You don't need the tables in the FE, so you want to be sure they have been removed first. As for the Back End, there is no reason to convert it to .MDE, since there are no forms or reports or queries in it after the split, and converting to .MDE won't prevent users from manipulating the tables themselves. Securing a BE is a whole other ballgame. Carl Rapson "Newf via AccessMonster.com" <u24600[ at ]uwe> wrote in message news:66307561f3447[ at ]uwe... [Quoted Text] > Carl: > I have it fixed now.
