I am creating a simple database to track history on electronic machines. The database will be used by several staff +-5 to10. Any advice on things to do when i have this many people connecting would be appreciated.
Also, i am currently designing the db as a single entity, but will have to split at some point in time. I would like to know when i should split ? right from the start of design or should i get everything working first before splitting ?
I would also need someway of the front end checking the path to the back end and if it is not valid then to ask the user to enter the path using the common dialog that generally pops up when you open a file through a program interface.
The new path would then be saved to the front end and checked on every occasion the front end is opened.
