Does any one know if MS Access can handle "Resolution Conflict" with multiple users? I'm thinking of using MS Access to support multiple users from 16 different locations. But I plan to put the database on each of the individual PCs, while the tables (data source)are on a server and the link is through a ODBC Link. I just want to know if this is possible or am I going the wrong way? Thanks in advance,
Bill
 
Since Ms. A. can actually use several differnt "back end" database engines, the question is really more orientated towards the db engine than Ms. A.

For the "Jet" engine (Ms. A.'s "bundled" db engine), in particular, thg different releases and versions have different locking mechanisims.

So you need to know what your are REALLY using, both what db enging the "back End" host the data and whuch version / release of that engine you will be using.

Thanks Michael, So I guess it wouldn't be possible to use several different versions of Ms. A across the 16 locations, right?
Thanks again for the response.
