Was your BE for these 200 users on SQL SERVER,
or was the BE just in normal ACCESS-FORMAT?

What's an ACCESS-FORMAT?

Do you mean Jet, isntead? If so, then that's what you
should have asked.

Possibly so, but (mellowed a bit over the years as I aged, I guess) I try to
cut a little slack for people who don't realize that, especially since a lot
of Microsoft documentation refers to "Access database" instead of Jet.

I think it's important to point it out to train people to understand
the distinction. Too many times we get led down the garden path in
this newsgroup because people say they are using an Access database
when they are not using one at all. That annoys the hell out of me.

Of course, as you all know, I'm easily annoyed.
