having 2 computers w/c uses peer-to-peer named PC1 and PC2

PC2 does not recognize the update and still remains with the old database

please help me

i need to do this...

For "shared" Database tables the usual method is to split your database into a "Frontend" containing all the "user" parts - Forms, Reports, etc. and a "Backend" containing just the data tables.
You need to decide which one of your computers is going to hold the "Live" data and place the "Backend" database in a shared folder on this computer, then Link all the "Frontend" databases to the "Backend" tables. Once you have done this all changes to the data will be seen by all users.
The precise mechanics of how you link the tables will vary according to the database program that you are using, if you are using Microsoft Access it is very easy, just open your Frontend database, on the main menu go to "File" select "Get External Data", choose "Link Tables" and just follow the instructions.

sir geoff

how can i do the things u said above?

Hi,
Without knowing which database you are using I cannot give any more information than I already have. IF you are using MS Access then typing "split" or "Link Tables" into the Access Help will give you lots of assistance on this. Also, take a look at Microsoft support at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/304932/en-us

i'm using MS Access 2007 and i cant seem to find the link table properties

Use the Link to the Microsoft Support Article that I put in my last post - it tells you there exactly what to do for your version of Access
