Pls Hlp w/DB Split for Multiple Users

[TotallyConfused]

I am confused as how to go about this. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
I have a DB that I split for multiple users but it bombed. Due to the
"delete error" message. I believe this is due to the two users accessing the
same record. How then can this DB work for multiple users. Only two of us
were using, need to add 3 others. What is the purpose of splitting DB if we
can't share? Can this be fixed? Is there a way around this?

Even when split you can have conflicts if you are trying to edit the same record
at the same time. You should however be able to be in the same file or even the
same table without problems.

Generally speaking, two users trying to edit the same record just doesn't come
up that often. When it does whoever saves first "wins".
