Record Locking: Preventing Multiple Users from Editing the Same Data in Microsoft Access.

Learn how to enable record-level locking to prevent two users from modifying the same customer record at the same time in Microsoft Access. Rosa from Toledo, Ohio (a Gold Member) asks: I have a small office with about 15 employees using my database. Everything works great, however once in a while two users attempt to edit the same customer record and one of them gets an error message saying they can't save their changes. This costs us a lot of time and productivity. Is there any way to prevent that? BONUS FOR MEMBERS: Silver Members and up get access to an Extended Cut of this video.
