Question I have a shared Access application where all users should log in & then they have to use the same form. What is the maximum users that can use that form at the same time? can I manage this number of users. ex. currently 60 persons should use it, in 2 months the number will increase to 100 users.
Answer Generally, I've found Access tends to bog down when the number of concurrent users exceeds 20. However, I've heard from people that deal with many more. You NEED to split the app so that the tables are in a back end file on the shared drive. the front end (with all the other objects), should stored on the local drives. This will help deal with more concurrent users.
