Hello, the codegurus around the world.;) Really? Did you use Access Database? Access Database isn't the thread-safe. That is, Access Database can't deal with con-corrent aceess on the web service. SQL server or Oracle actually use TCP/IP, meaning Socket level exchange. Or as long as you write the program with thread, Access database may be the thread safe.:confused: Have a nice day! -Masaaki Onishi-

MSDN docs say that the max load for a multiuser Access DB is ~50 users. In other newsgroup conversations, I've heard people say ~10 or ~20 users is tops. http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/techart/apg01.htm This article points to pros/cons of using MS Access in a client/server scenario.

for that kind of output i use a listbox or listctrl --- "every year we invent better idiot proof systems and every year they invent better idiots"
