| Hi, Similar 4 PCs that I mentioned in my other posting (Ping and Printing Issue on wireless network). All 4 PCs are using Microsoft Access to do data input, the Access DB is located in a server, the Access DB file are mapped in the 4 PCs. Quite often, the 4 PCs will suffer from Disk Error, can anyone tell me if wireless network is not suitable for a constant DB connection or is there a solution. Thanks. |

As MVP Jack wrote, wireless connections are not very stable. Therefore they present a challenge for applications developed for wired networks. Today's applications created with web connectivity in mind (including wireless) typically use synchronization approach: they work on a local (fast, reliable) copy of the data, and sync it with remote/shared copy, as the network conditions allow. The MS Office Outlook is a good example. Regards, --PA |
