Upgrading for Multiuser Access   
I need some guidance as I was given a task to support a
2002 Access database which was designed for a single user,
but I want to expand it's usage to be multi-user.

My requirement is to have two or three users have write
access and up to 5 users read-only.  I tried to configure
using the Access Security features but it does not seem
to be up to what I need (unless I'm not doing something
correctly).

What are my options?  I'm not familiar with features of
the latest Access versions, nor with MS SQL Server.

My desire is to utilize the existing GUI as much as
possible.  Perhaps using web base interfaces for the
read-only users if that would cut down on licensing
costs.  This is for a church so funds are tight.


TIA

Re: Upgrading for Multiuser Access   
I have a starting article here that gives you some idea for multiuser:

basically the first concert you have to learn is to split the database.
