Access and Sharepoint

[accessnovice]

I have an existing Access DB that will have multiple users. If I store the .
mdb file on a Sharepoint site, can multiple users open the .mdb file
simultaneously?

I doubt it - but you can suck it and see.

"suck it and see" - nice use of a public forum

nice to know what passes for an MVP

Dear accessnovice:

I don't want to speak for John, but have you considered that your
interpretation of the phrase may be incorrect? You may simply be dealing
with a cultural misunderstanding. A better approach might have been to give
John the benefit of the doubt and ask: "What do you mean by that phrase?".

Cheers!

P.S....

I've done a quick search with Google groups and found it mentioned in two
posts:

Quoting a post (edited):

There was an old saying among scientists in prewar Britain
that expresses in one short phrase what science is all about.
"Suck it and see".

Quoting another post (edited):

Suck them and see.

Is that an English English phrase? (greek_philosophizer)

Yes. Strictly it should be "suck it and see" but we had more than one
object to be sucked here.
Means "give it a whirl".....and has no other connotations; can be used in
polite company!

MY point is being misinterpreted - I submitted a post to a forum and an MVP
responded with "try it and see"

so now I must respond back that I did try it and it didn't work... not much
value add to my way of thinking

I've seen responses on this forum that actually explained why something would
or would not work (from a technical perspective), and maybe even provided a
suggestion or 2

didn't mean to offend - I'll keep looking for technical assitance

Dear accessnovice:

When *will* I learn to mind my own business? My sincere apologies for
misinterpreting you.

I'll leave now, with whatever dignity I can still muster... <g>

I just posted an Ms Access database on my sharepoint site, opened it with
several users. There very well might be differences in the versions of
sharepoint, versions of Ms Access, and/or security settings, startup
settings on your database and/or Sharepoint site. Example, you may be
opening the database in exclusive mode from the sharepoint site.

With the vagueness of your question, I'm sure no one can give you the good
'techinical' answer you desire.

The tenor of your response, very well may result in few if any responders
left, willing to help. None of the responders here get paid (though some
want to :<). We are giving of our own time and effort to help others use MS
Access.
