    multiple users?


    I'm build this database to be used simultaneously by two different people. How do I go about allowing the file to be used by two people at the same time? It sits in a network folder

    I'm confused. Would that mean that when one person submits new entry, it'd automatically update the second front end on the other computer? Generally this database will be sitting in a network folder so I just have never worked with splitting the db

    Both front ends look to the single back end for data, so updates by any front end are seen by all.

    I split the db into the same folder. Went to the other computer and it looks like the operate under different drive letters to navigate to the shared folder? One is H: and the other is G?
