Two Databases from One
Mark Wright 

5 years ago
Hi all,

Please bear with me here as this may be an easy fix! Sometimes when either me or a colleague edits the database, another one is saved in its place - even when the database has been exited. _please see screenshot attached.

All the information is saved in the one with the computer name, which means I have to delete, rename etc, etc. I'm presuming there is a setting etc which will stop this from happening?

Any help would be appreciated.

Many thanks

Mark

Is that in a OneDrive sync'd folder?

Yes Alex, that's correct

The OneDrive folder is shared with other users.

Never, NEVER, use DropBox, Google Drive, OneDrive or any of those for SHARED Access databases. See this.

Hi Alex, and Richard. Thank you for this. I saw the EVEL (lol) page Alex posted and purchased your seminar Richard.

All seems pretty straight forward, however I have a few questions:

1. Can I grant access to multiple tables at once?
2. If I can do the above, then is it possible for the other user to enable access with just one click i.e. rather than having to click to accept access to each table.
3. I presume it's just the Tables I upload and not the Queries and Forms etc (yes don't laugh, it's a newbie question! lol)
4. When I send the database (encrypted or otherwise) and if I make changes to the Queries/Forms as it is quite possible I will do this in the near future - does this mean I have to send another database file to the users?

I think this covers everything! :)

Many thanks

Mark

Read this page over. It should answer most of your questions.

Thanks Richard, I did read this prior to purchasing the seminar, however I cannot see any answers to my questions. Am I missing something?

Mark, I'm not sure what you're asking. You're using Access with Sharepoint?
Mark Wright OP  @Reply

Yes, that's correct. So I have uploaded all of my tables (about 9), but is there any way to share all of them at once instead of one at a time? So I could invite [email protected] to access all the tables in one invite instead of inviting them to each one?

Use SQL Server. LOL
