Multiple users access at same time

Hi - again. In my database, I will need to be able to
have several people adding info at once. If my
switchboard opens the forms in "add" mode, can several
users be in at the same time? If not, how can I manage
this?

TIA - BJ

Yes since each user use a *copy of the Form* on his/her
desktop.

However, for a multi-user database application, you should
(must, really) split the database into Front-End and Back-
End. The Back-End contains only Tables and resides on a
shared directory. The Front-End contains all other Access
objects and each user should have a copy of the Front-End
on his/her PC.

See Access Help on splitting a database.

As Van said, you split the database. It works great.
