    Can multiple users enter data at the same time?

    Hello,



    I have several forms will be filled out on a daily basis by 50 different people. Does Access have a way of allowing multiple users to fill out the forms at the same time and still track the data? Or is it like Excel and can only be viewed as "Read-Only" once opened by someone else?

    Thank you,

    -justair

    No, multiple people can input data at the same time. The db would be split:
