Eric, I can't agree more. I have been somewhat involved in helping with this. I currently have v5 in a test envirnment, which, of course is not 30 computers. But, all in all, I don't think it is the load.
To me, with my many problems with networking in the past, it more like with 7 computers you have certain percentage of issues, and with 28, there is four times that many.
I will be upgrading this weekend, and I will roll out carefully.
I have suggested 3rd party help, but I have backed off a little until Jon's method has a try. Not sure why messages would matter, but, hey, it's the only answer so far.
Many users were familiar or could get up to speed with Access. There is a reason SQL is much better besides being more robust. It has to be a bit more technical.
So, if Jon's fix works, that's great. And, it is evidence they are working on the problem.
If anything, the only issue I have had with support or AC is they tend to work on problems (and come up with a solution) for too long in the background without addressing it right up front. I mean this to be looked at in a good light at least here as it seems they are listening to those who are having issues.
Hang in there everyone.
Thanks Eric.
