Multi user in Access 2000
I have a database Access 2000 file format, and stored in a shared folder so several users can access it at the same time. Most of the time it works fine, but sometimes it shows a message that prevents them to work with it. It says that the database is locked by another user and it can't be open. The users that are already in can work without problem, but it doesn't allow new users to com...

Split Database Difficulties
This question must have been asked before, but I cannot see anything of relevence in the present posts so forgive me if I am duplicating an earlier query. If a table in a back-end database is renamed then it is no longer visible to the front-end. Presumably, the same will also be true if a new table is added to the back-end. Is there a way of relinking the databases after such chang...

Weird relationship window problem
This is odd. I clicked "Show All Relationships" and one table showed up off-screen above the upper edge of the window. I know it's there because the relationship line still goes up there, but I can't modify it, because I can't actually see the table, and if I add the table again, it shows up as "tbl_notes 1", and then "Show All..." shows relationships to both "tbl_notes" and "tbl_n...

negative Autonumbers
From some websites i've looked at I understand that negative Autonumbers may be a problem. I'm doomed to support about 30 remote databases, so I set Autonumber to Random to avoid confilicts when combining the remote datasets into a single database. My questions are What are the problems, how serious are they, and how likely are they to occur? Given the situation I sketched above, are...

Multi Line text fields
From Access '97 through to 2002, it was possible to enter a multi line entry into a table field. This I could do with a Control - Enter (NewLine Char). With 2003 this does not appear to be possible any more. This flows through to form fields. This was very handy to store addresses where the number of address lines was variable. It is now not possible for me to maintain any address data...
