I'm creating an Access 2010 database and would like some clarification when it comes to concurrency and security. What I would like is upon starting the app only a menu form to be displayed with several buttons including a login button. Most buttons would be disabled until after the user logs in at which point based on their permission group; Viewer(Deafault), Worker, Editor, Admin.
Also, Admin should be the only one to be able to see the access database while the others are restricted to seeing the forms only.
I was just testing the default concurrency implementation but saving my database to a shared network and having myself and a co-worker try to access it. Found out if one accessed the database it locked it from others, and if we both tried at the same time it became read-only.
So I'm just looking for tips on how to start this.
