run-time FE "Could not update" in a multi-user DB w/ Access BE

N

NightZen

I have created several multi-user FE/BE databases using Access and they work fine. I recently purchased MS Office developer so that I could create a multi-user databse for a set of computers on our shop floor - the thing is they diddn't want to spring for Access liscenses on all of these computors just for this little Preventive Maintenance Database a wrote, so I created a FE and used developer to bundle a run-time instance of Access

It works fine when one user connects. But when a second computor connects and tries to enter certain data (see below), I get an error: "could not update; currently locked." If I connect with two computors and open the database with access (not the run-time instance), I get no such error

The main input form has 4 fields: date, operator, machine, and frequency. After he selects these he press a button to populate a subform with maintenance items using the code below. Each Item has a discription, and a text-box for entering "DONE". When more than one user is connected at a run-time instance, data-entery into the main form is accepted, pressing the button populates the subform correctly, but entries cannot be made into the subform. I'm Stumped! and I could really use some help

Thanks, Keit
