Access Database - Shared User Environment

Paid on delivery
We have an Access 2013 database that we are using to track my firm's accounts, individuals, and opportunities. Currently, people within my company access this database through Dropbox. The problem is that only one person can be in the database at a time, as the way Dropbox works to synchronize files, it creates conflicted copies of the database. We are looking for a cost effective solution to allow multiple users to make changes to the data. This may or may not be relevant, but we use [login to view URL] for our web hosting. If you're interested in this project, I'd like to know what additional costs on top of yours that we'd need to incur for hosting, SharePoint, upgrading to Microsoft 365, etc. The winning bidder will be one that details an understanding of my specific issue rather than someone who claims expertise in Access.

Hi, I'm a professional Ms Access and VBA developer with strong background in developing and implementing information systems with databases from scratch. I'd like more details so that I can give you my final timeframe and quote. So after reading your project description, I'd like to suggest few solutions, you may pick whatever you find suitable for you. 1. Use Google Drive instead of Dropbox, I have designed an app for Saudi campus with multiple user access with Zero issues of concurrent access. The problem of this one is that GDrive syncs data every 5 minutes. If this doesn't bother you then this should satisfy your needs. 2. User shared back-end over LAN. This solution requires an already established LAN in your firm. 3. Use MySQL server for back-end hosting. This should be one of the best way to have a shared app, but it will cost you some more money for hosting and coding. However, GDrive and LAN both provide same services for free. You may think about these and we can further discuss them over chat. I have done similar assignments previously, so check my profile for details. I'm looking forward to hearing from you. Regards,

Dear Client, My name is Dipak Moliya. I’ve read your project description and can see that you would like to share your Access 2013 database with multiple-user so users can use the same database simultaneously. The best option for your particular requirement is Office 365 ProPlus plan which will cost you about $12 USD/Month. We need to split your database in two part the Front-End and the Back-End. The Front-End will contain all the database object except the tables(Data) like Queries, Forms, Reports, Macros, Modules etc. while the Back-End will contain only tables(Data). There could be multiple Front-End (for each PC/User) but there will be only one Back-End which we will put on Microsoft Office 365 (Microsoft Azur/SQL database). I will link each Front-End (for your each PC/User) with the centralized Back-End database which will be in the cloud so your users will be able to access the same database at the same time from any location via internet. Thus you don't need to manage multiple copies of the same database. I have 6 year's experience designing and developing Microsoft Access Application (Online/SharePoint(Office 365), Offline/Desktop) with advance knowledge of Database Designing, Forms and Reports designing, SQL, VBA. I am highly qualified for this project and would love to speak with you further about taking this project on. If you'd like to view my previous work, take a look at my Freelancer Portfolio. Thanks

Bid Summary Hi, I can work on an app like this for you, the idea is to avoid the duplicate files in dropbox, since you're thinking about godaddy or similar, I can do the front end in Access and backend in MySQL. Project Requirements I have stated this in the summarise. But basically is allowing a database for multi-user(front end) and have it link to the database such as MySQL which is provided by godaddy. I can build a more complex system in .NET but I thought of the first option based on your available budget. Relevant Skills and Experience MS Access .NET (C#) MySQL SQL I've used the before mentioned to build from entry-level applications to robust programs for medium size companies. Proposed Milestones $100 USD - To start and cover the fees upon accepting the project (if selected) $177 USD - The rest of the amount once the project is completed

Hi, if the database is well and running and all I need to do is to upgrade it to a shared and multiple environment is quite an easy task. Paying more than a $100 dollars is an overcosting. What we need to is place all your table into a sharepoint and that's it. Regarding the I've always do this on my current job. thanks and best regard, John

Hi. I can help you with the multiuser theme. MS-Access is perfectly enabled to receive several users simultaneously. It simply involves separating the file containing the program from the file containing the database.I am an expert in database solutions. I work fast because I have a lot of experience in the field. I have more than 500 hours in training, certifying and lecturing personnel in all phases of Access. I have sent you a very affordable proposal. If you hire me you will not regret it. Please contact me. Thank you. Camilo

Good Day, As a database specialist and trainer for the past 12 years I know I am the best to help you with your current issue. I wil say this though, running a database on a shared or cloud drive is exceptionally dangerous and should never be done as this will corrupt the system over time. Since you already have the database in place I would strongly suggest that a local drive share be setup and the database be moved in their soonest. Further, Access has a means of handling multi user enviroments by creating 2 copies of the database, one with the actual data and the other, the front end (forms and reports and macros with code). Doing this allows access to handle the users and data in a safe and very powerful way. There are many different ways of setting this up in a production enviroment that is safe and good for the database. If you want, we can discuss these a bit further. If I knkw what the future plans are I can advise further. Overall, getting all of the above setup should take about 3 days do. This inclides testing to make sure everyone can work on the system and that proper backups are also kept, just in case. Looking forward to working with you on this project. Regards, Rob

I would say that cost all depend on the amount of users mainly. This differs as the cost for sharepoint can differ based on the solution needed. Also are you using office365 for your users currently? If so this may be a way to cut on cost. My biggest things to give you a real quote on cost outside of my own would be again how many users, if you are currently using office 365, and about how much data usage you currently have and how much you foresee in the future. Based on these I could give you a realistic time frame as well as extra cost and my final cost. However if your unsure of your space requirements that is fine.

that is the downfall of access hosted data. the database needs to have the forms setup external of access to permit multiple user access. I can write the forms needed in either c# or VB. alternatively have you considered going to my sql for the database side, or better yet sql server?

there are a couple of options that can be down. however I would need to know how big is this database? it might be better to export the database to SQL.
