Hello, I've created a simple access database that links to a list on a sharepoint that contains all of our data. Essentially, it is an inventory of everything we have.
- We have 5 different sites. All of their items are in the sharepoint list as well.
- Data is constantly being added, deleted, and changed by people at all 5 sites.
The problem I've run into is, if 2 users have the database open at the same time, accessing the sharepoint list, changing things, etc. This happened the other day where I was in there, changing things around. When i went to save the list after my updates it told me that another user had made changes. I could press Ok to commit my changes and discard their changes or i could push Cancel to discard my changes and keep their changes. Is there any way to avoid this?
Thank you!
Edit: I guess I should let it be known that I'm a total access/database noobie. I said I "created" the database earlier but I've learned not to re-invent the wheel (I simply changed what I could find/what was already being used into what I wanted it to be).
