One can reverse engineer the Access database design with Visio Enterprise and have Visio emit new definitions for any number of real databases.
AFS is a good place to archive .mdb files. Being a university, one should investigate SQL server for multiuser applications. Its Data Transformation Services work quite well. Of course then you have that to backup. tedc -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Federico Balbi Sent: Wednesday, April 20, 2005 2:54 PM To: Gabe Castillo Cc: openafs-info@openafs.org Subject: Re: [OpenAFS] MS Access and OpenAFS I do not think AFS would be good with concurrent users. AFS is good to share many small files with low concurrency access. If you have bunch of MDB and low probability to have 2 users or more using it concurrently then it would be fine.
