Hi,

In real life applications I wouldn't use Access for more than 5 concurrent users.

For example, with proper tuning, the current version of Microsoft Access can certainly handle 50 concurrent users and 100 megabytes of data, whereas previous versions could not."

>>Thanks, Joel. I knew that was there, but they just don't quantify it. In other words, they aren't saying "if you're over X number of users and Y table size (in records) you will find better performance using VFP." It seems like they did that at one time . . .
