in access, the database could
be edited.

however, others could only
view the database while it
was being edited.

basically access allowed one
instance of editing and it
locked the database as
read only for every one
else.

might want to search for
collaboration or
locking users

Hello. Two questions:
1) So if multiple people are editing the same file - how does that get
resolved? What if they were editing the same line - who's changes take
precidence?
2) Do we end up saving our document (word for example) in a 'groove'
folder
on our hard drive? on our network? is the document stored in your file
repository?
Thanks.
