Does your course cover multi-user and record locking? I don't see this in the course outlines even in the advanced courses. Thanks
Reply from Richard Rost:
I really haven't spent a lot of time on the subject because Access supports multiple users right out of the box. There's really nothing special you have to do except place the database in a shared folder. Access handles the rest. This is, however, on my list of topics to cover in the upcoming Advanced lessons. There are a lot of topics like this that I didn't cover the first time through if they weren't crucial. There are some advanced multi-user issues that I will address, such as preventing a user from editing a record that another user is currently editing... which is the only real complaint I have with Access' default record locking.
