Hi <br />
So u have to see if anther application has accessed your access database ?<br />
do u have to see or show if thath has happened , which record it was ?<br />
Long shot but could u not use the windows api to tell you when the database was last modified. Keep track of thath value in a ini file and compare the dates and times .<br />
just an idea<br />
<br />

I have a requirement to have multiple access to a database over a network. &nbsp;The requirement also includes my VB5/6 application to constantly read the database for changes made by other systems on the network. <br />
<br />
Is there anyway to be notified of changes to a database without having to constantly check the database contents using a timer?<br />
<br />
If so, is there any code snippets available as I don't have a clue !<br />

I have a requirement to have multiple access to a database over a network.  The requirement also includes my VB5/6 application to constantly read the database for changes made by other systems on the network. 

Is there anyway to be notified of changes to a database without having to constantly check the database contents using a timer?

If so, is there any code snippets available as I don't have a clue !


Automatic reading of database values

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.
