Greetings,

Hopefully this will be an easy answer for you VB pros out there:

I am creating an app that will use a shared database to furnish many users with information. The user will be allowed to add and edit the information contained therein.

I am using DAO against Access 2000. I am also using a class to retrieve the record from the DB. I can pass the class a value (ClientID) and it 'knows' how to populate itself with the record. As soon as it's populated, the connection to the DB is closed.

Here's the problem: How do I ensure that the information written to the database by one user will not overwrite any changes made to the same data by another user?

Eagerly awaiting any suggestions,
Guru2B
