prevent user to log on to 2 computers at the same time. access 2k

[Last user''''s name that modified a reco]

Greetings!

First, I would like to extend my gratitude Mr. Allen for helping my with my
previous dilemma, "stamping the name of the current user that modified a
record". Thank you very much to you, sir!

I am using an access 2000 database protected with a workgroup security and
deploy it accross a network of windows 98 computers. When we have it tested,
I found out that a user logged on to another computer can also log on to
another terminal using the same user name and password. Now my problem is, is
it possible to eliminate the problem and what should i do? Thank you very
much and more power.

Hi,
not sure you can do this at win98 level, but if you are worring about access
database - then you can track there who logged and perhaps give a message to
user if he log twice. See this link:

I seem to recall that with most ServersOSs that its possible to limit
the number of concurrent logons. That's assuming that you have a
dedicated Server though. Side note: Why are you still running Windows98,
pardon me software that's 8 years old?
