What do you mean your user groups are not linking up with each other? That
makes no sense.

when i input information into my database on one computer, the information
doesn't show up on the database on the other computers

Well, is the database stored on a public folder (in a LAN)? Do the other
users have access to the same database? Are you using a split database
where the back-end data resides on the LAN but each user has their own
front-end copy on their PC?

The other users do have access to the database. They all use the same
database just on different computers in the office. Im not sure about that
whole LAN thing, but what I do know is that when the boss inputs information
into the database from her computer, it doesn't show up on the other
computers in the office. and vice versa.

In all liklihood, everybody has their own copy of the database and, since
each is a separate file, there is no connection between them. For it to work
the way you want, you need split the database in to a frontend and backend,
then give each user a copy of the frontend only. The LAN that Rick is
referring to is your Local Area Network. The backend would need to reside
somehwere on that network.

Well then it sounds like they each have theior own database. That won't
work. If you have a Word document on your computer and someone else makes a
copy and takes it home and revises it, your copy on your computer does not
change.

Knowing about the LAN is the key to getting this to work, Crystal, so if you
are not familiar with such concepts, I would advise getting someone who is
familiar with them to set this up for you.
