| hi,
I am new in the multi user option, and I am not even sure if this is the
solution I need.
I have a database and I need to make it possible for about 6 users to enter
data.
I read a lot on the net about the replication, I really don't even know if
thats the same as multiuser, and if so, I didn't see how it helps
Sorry about all these basic questions, I am quite lost here
Many thanks

| Access is multi-user out of the box.
Assuming all of your users are in the same location, there should be no
reason to use replication.
Split your application into a front-end (containing the queries, forms,
reports, macros and modules) and a back-end (containing the tables). Only
the back-end should be on the server: each user should have a copy of the
front-end on his/her hard drive.
Tony Toews has good information about splitting databases at
http://www.granite.ab.ca/access/splitapp/index.htm (he also has a free Auto
FE Updater so that you can guarantee that each user has the current version
of the front-end at http://www.granite.ab.ca/access/autofe.htm )
