Database Splitting

[mikeinohio]

I spiltted a database and put the back end on the server and the front end
on the clients but when you open up the database up from one of the
clients it says that the database is read only and the save function is
disabled, what did i miss?

Not every reader allows cross-posting (mine doesn't). In any case,
multi-posting is not prohibited on this forum - read the rules.

You sure you can't crosspost? Usually it's just a case of typing the various
newsgroups in the appropriate place, separating them with commas or
semi-colons.

And while there may not be any explicit rule prohibiting multi-posting, that
doesn't mean it's not preferred that people cross-post. "Help on the
Web-based Newsreader", for Microsoft's web-based interface, at
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/gallery/components/wn/2/locales/help_en-US.htm
includes instructions on how to cross-post.

What is your reader, exactly? (since it's not likely a function specific to
the reader)

Whilst the advice is well-intended, there can be occasions where the advice is
over-the-top, usually annoying only the most regular of repliers.
Nevertheless, it is well-intentioned advice. Because I only read a few
newsgroups, I don't know, if you multi-post, whether you got a satisfactory
answer or not.

Since you like to multi-post (ie without cross-reference), see recent
occurrences of this problem and discussion in either this or other newsgroups
(damned if I can remember! alrighty there's a similar recent example in
..security)
