Multiple Users

[Guest]

I have a multiple user database where users are inputting data at the same times that I am updating the database. How do I ensure i will be able to design the database at the same time they are inputting if I'm not specifically working on the form they are inputting on??

You could only do that with version prior to A2000. Even then it was a bad
idea.

Your app should be split into a back end (tables only) and a front end
(everything else). That way you can develop on a separate copy of the
front end and just distribute it when ready.

Hi Thanes:
Not a good idea to update while others are working
in the database. You should split it into front and back
end bases, update a copy of the front end, and then have
your users download the new version to their machines.

Hope this helps
