How to make any access database to be multi user

It is actually multi-user, but in an efficient way. It is transactional, but a whole database would be locked during the whole transaction. But, strictly speaking, it is still multi-user. Yes, I understand, it's a problem. Whatever...

Still, there is a big choice.
I just added Solution 3; please see.

Thank you.

Solution 2

You can TRY to use Access as a multiuser database but it's not stable.

Do yourself a HUGE favor as scrap Access and go with SQL Server instead.

Agree, with huge favor; a 5. SQL server is not the only choice though...
Please see Solution 3 where I advised how to go about it.

I'm always weary of file access based database engines, with their risk of total mess up and deletion.

Solution 3

As three members already advised you to change the database system, you need to do some choice. Please see:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_relational_database_management_systems[^],
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_object-relational_database_management_systems[^].

Yes, you have to rewrite some code, maybe a lot of code. But Solution 2 is perfectly correct: it would be a huge favor.
