Splitting a Database in Access 2007
I am working in a database with a very large amount of data and it will
continue to increase. I have split the database for other users to access this dB. When I open the database after it has been split, with no one else accessing it, I get a .laccdb file and a _be.laccdb file. Ok, I'm confused on why both appear but when another user tries to open this same database at the same time I'm in it, they get an error basically saying that they cannot find the path to the _be.laccdb file...it happens visa versa so it doesn't matter who accesses it first, only that the 2nd person will get the error. Any suggestions? Is this a sharing or permissions issue? I found in following in a Access 2007 book, when in working in properties and users, we do not get a 'Sharing' tab in the properties box. But, under General, I have the full permission and have checked the appropriate boxes for read and write permissions for all of the users. My "original" database posses no problem when more than one person is in it but it does have obvious slow down because of the amount of data being added to it daily. Show a .laccdb file once when it is open. Help...Thank you Access guru! Harriet |

Splitting a Database in Access 2007
Harriet,
I don't have the book so I cannot see what you are seeing but... Does everyone have their own front end? Are their front ends installed on their drive and the back-end on a shared drive? Is the database opening in shared mode? Perhaps the below will help... http://www.members.shaw.ca/AlbertKallal/Articles/split/ http://allenbrowne.com/ser-01.html -- Gina Whipp "I feel I have been denied critical, need to know, information!" - Tremors II http://www.regina-whipp.com/index_files/TipList.htm "Harriet" wrote in message ...
