The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Allow only one User connection to shared MS Access Database

Asked by TeamLink in Microsoft Access Database

Tags: , , , ,

Is there anyway to configure an access database so that it can only be opened by only one person at a time?

I know of the options in tools->options->advanced and this does seem to successfully prevent editing of tables once they are opened by another user. However, it doesn't seem to stop changes being submitted from forms?

I really want to lock them out completely, as that way there is no ambiguity.

I have tried setting up a shortcut with the "\excl" switch on the end, but this still allows access by another user, if they open the database directly by double clicking on the file.

Can anyone offer any advice, or is this something which is just not possible without some coding effort?

The users are using a mix of MS Access 2000 and 2003, but I think it is originally an Access 2000 database.Start Free Trial
