Multi User Environment
I need to create a tracking system for my department which has 5-7 users.
I would like to know if access has the facility for multi editing (editing by different users at the same time on the same table but inputing or updating different records). Also can I have a front-end like page created from MS access using forms |

Search the help for "split database". HTH - Keith. www.keithwilby.com |

Multi User Environment
MS Access is multi-user out of the box just as you have described.
EXCEPT that you need to provide a data entry form for your users so that they aren't required to get into the tables. That form may be the "front-end like page" you asked about.

However, if you need to ask whether or not it is suitable, then you probably don't have the skills and experience necessary to build it yourself. Most developers who do this for a living would look back at the applications they created in the first year or two and realise the limitations of these creations. So if you are starting from scratch you may need a bit of help along the way. |
