I have been trying for some time to get a locking mechanism working in an Access database that will, in a multi-user environment, allow only a single user to see each record at a time.
I understand the principles and have researched many ways of doing it, the latest being randomly selecting a single (supposedly random) record from a table, but in practice, with multiple users nothing seems to work reliably.
It is a live database, so all other functionality must remain, but the means of acheiving this result is up to the coder.
