I'm trying to use an Access Database as the database for a Sharepoint site and connect to it via an ADODB ActiveX Object in JavaScript.
I have tried to use Sharepoint lists instead of Access but the information retreival was painfully slow.
Unfortunately, due to the beurocracy of large companies, I am unable to use anything other than client-side code, Sharepoint and Access.
I have got this working to a point, however, the problem I am having is updating the data when more than one user tries to access the Sharepoint site at once: only the first user's changes are saved. The second user can make changes and they show on the second user's screen until the browser is closed and then the changes are gone.
I have tried moving the database to a shared network drive and connect to it from there and it works fine so the problem must be with Sharepoint, not with my code or the database.
Any help on this issue will be greatly appreciated as I have spent the last 2 days trying to work this one out!
