- devduderino 10y agoYep
- qaq 10y agoWell there are tools to help easily migrate Access to SQL Server, but this is moving fairly far from the original premise of this topic.
- Dylan16807 10y agoDoes Access actually work well for 20 users?
- nyir 10y agoAnecdotally it doesn't: had to use a time tracking program that used an Access database on a shared network folder and would frequently freeze up or crash due to locking issues (with around that many users). I imagine it could be done better though.
- Clubber 10y agoLast time I built something in Access was on Access 1997. I believe it had about 100 concurrent users and over a gig of data. Those both exceed the hard limits of access at the time so I had a single read/write database on a share and multiple read only databases on shares. I had to split tables among multiple database files as well. My direct boss was the CFO and he was cheap as hell. It's amazing the things we can come up with when we have to.
