September 2000: The presentation originally planned was deferred until October. The Application Developer Issues presentation on Access 2000 for the Developer by App Dev Issues SIG Leader Dan Ogden had the rapt attention of the audience, wasn't finished, and Tom and Larry decided it would be best for that to be completed.

August 2000: Access SIG Leader Larry Linson followed up the multi-user discussion with a presentation on using Access as a Client Application. This presentation covered using Access .MDB or .MDE files, DAO, ODBC, and various server databases. Larry drew on his experience using Access as a client to Microsoft SQL Server, Informix, Sybase SQL Server, and Sybase SQL Anywhere. Because it is a database development tool, and has unique data-related events and properties, Access is an excellent tool for developing client applications.

July 2000: Access SIG Leader Larry Linson led a discussion on Access in a Multiuser Environment. We talked about tips, hints, considerations, and caveats for using Access with multiple users. Larry quoted reliable reports of as many as 150 concurrent users, though he certainly doesn’t advise that you plan an Access application for that many. One topic of particular interest was 'Corruption and How to Avoid It' -- the identified cause is most often a case of 'ungraceful termination'.
