   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.

 
   IDrive Plus and Firewalls
 


IDrive Plus may not work behind some firewalls.

If your computer is behind a firewall

Please ensure the firewall your are using allows access to IP "64.14.192.230" for proper IDrive Plus functioning.

If you are using ZoneAlarm, follow these steps:

1. Open the main window of ZoneAlarm and select the Security tab.
2. Click the Advanced button.
3. Click the Add button and select IP Address.
4. Enter "64.14.192.230" as the IP Address and "IDrive" as description.

Please note that you may need to adjust your firewall settings to allow access to the ports 139 TCP to make IDrive Plus function properly.

   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.
