    Number of people able to Access DB

    Hi I have set up a Database in work, we have 8 computers but only 5 can access the database at the same time, when I try to connect a 6th computer the computer tells me that the network link could not be found. However if I close out on one of the 5 computers connected then the database becomes available for another computer, but only 5 out of the 8.



    Totally Confused!!!!

    Is it Access or a Network problem, help someone please.

    Thanks, Noel

    AFAIK it is not an Access limitation.

    Thanks, do you have any idea what might be causing the restriction to 5 computers?

    Not really. What is the environment? Company LAN with an IT department? FrontEnd and BackEnd with free MSSQL lite as the BE? That does have a limit of 5 users but I thought it just degraded when that was exceeded.
