It doesn't seem particularly quick. I haven't been using my program with more than 1 user accessing at a time so I don't know if there will be problems. >Someone has suggested using MS SQL Server 6.0, how would that compare >with Informix?

With regards to using Access , I think it depends on how much data you have rather than the number of users. >Thanks in advance!
