Access 2007 splitting a database
I have a database which I have made copies of and have been splitting. There will be more than 10 people who will use this database at any one time. The users need to be able to input and save data.
I have experimented with two people simultaneously usine the same front end. Although we could both access forms at the same time and create new records as soon as we tried to save it would not let both of us.
I then made a copy of the front end so we both had one each. This time it allowed us to save however what I saved on my front end did not appear on the other users front end.
I need to be able to have multiple using the database at once, being able to save and view reports at the same time and have any changes made by one user show up on all other users front ends once it is saved. Can anyone help me?

Hi,
I wish users to be able to save inputed data and be able to view reports that have already been created. They will not be building or altering anything in regards to the design of the front end. Just want them to be able to input and view.
As I have mentioned above I have trialed using two front ends and the saved new records would only appear on the front end on which they were saved. Even after both front ends were closed and reopened. We need any saved input data changes to be reflected. Can you advise as to how I can make this happen.

You're not doing something right.
If BOTH frontends connect to the SAME BACKEND, all users will be able to see this.
Did you split the database, then place the backend on a publicly available location, then supply a copy of the FE to each user?

I have just tried to split a copied version of the original database.
It has come up with a message
Subscript of of range
What does this mean?

If you have split a database should you still be able to see the tables in the front end file?

I think the problem lies with the database not splitting properly.
I need someone to help me work out why I keep getting the message
"Subscript out of range"
This seems to be the problem

Thankyou
What do you mean by "save and view reports"? Are you going to allow users to build or alter reports? If so, then those changes would NOT be shared by others (and this can lead to some serious corruption issues also).
