Multiple User Access Database in MS Access

Access Database can only provide access 255 users at the same time.

But the reality of working with an access database is performance goes down when 20-30 users make requests, that means Access database is suitable for small application, there is more efficient database software available like SQL or MySQL.

Multiple User Access Database in MS Access

Hey Ljones!

Basically it all depends on three things:

1. Your Network
2. File Servers
3. Workload

These three things will better decide that you can serve how many actual No. of users.

Here i would like to inform you that if the numbers of actual users is less than 20, then it is totally no normal.

There will be no problem occurrence if your number of users is less than 20. 

Secondly, the achievement of multi-part user also depends on further requirements.

The major requirement is User Management on which the achievement of multi-part user can be depend.

I hope you understand it.

Thanks
