| | Posted: | | | | I need to play with this. I'd love to move my database to the shared My Documents space so I can open it from multiple accounts on my computer (I'd like my wife and I to have access to the same data). I'm guessing it shouldn't be too hard. | | | Get the CSVExport and Database Query plug-ins here.

| | Posted: | | | | Seems to work fine. The only thing I haven't tried is concurrent access.
BTW, I like how you can create and new database and copy the existing one to it at the same time. |

| | Posted: | | | | What I did for my wifes account was to simply open the database in my account. That worked perfectly. Then I made the mistake of cleaning out her My Document folder of the left over data. That worked fine, but when I tried to load a new layout, it was still looking at her My Document folder instead of mine (where the database is). It would sure be nice if I could simply change where the program searches for that stuff. Until then, I supposed I could re-create some folder in her account. | | | Get the CSVExport and Database Query plug-ins here.

Putting it in my documents isn't a great option. I have mine installed on my corporate laptop and like many corporates we use folder redirection on my documents to move the contents to a network drive. |

How did you move the database? Go to "File", "Open Database", "New Database". Then enter a "Database Name", browse to or enter a path, and check "Copy the current database". -drjenkins | | | They that give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty or safety.

| | Posted: | | | | Great job. the performance over network (wireless) is much much better. I have 2.5 on my NAS (complete program folder), on my wired gigabit network it worked fine but from my wifes wireless connect it is sooo slooooow. Now, the with 3.0, I still see a small delay but it is very usable  | | | Premium member since 29 August 2002 ----
