Can
I simultaneously access an Access Database file at two different ends
using the IDrive Plus application? |
| |
IDrive
Plus is the only Internet based Network Drive Storage technology
that can be used to execute concurrent operations such as simultaneous
updates and accesses on an Access Database (try making changes to
a row in a table, click on 'records' and select 'refresh', you will
see the corresponding rows accessed by others updated and will see
the most current view of the data). The applications remain on the
desktops, while the data resides on IBackup accounts and are accessed
through IDrive Plus technology.

other. To cover the widest range of online network drive usage, we
offer both. But first, please note that IDrive Plus works only on
2000/XP, and may require firewall settings.

I
can edit an excel/word/access file, make changes, but errors on saving
the file..why? |
| |
This might be due
to the long file name of the file with some special characters. Please
rename it to a smaller name with no special characters, and try the
operation again. |
