At the moment I'm using IQ from a usb stick. Today I used IQ & hibernated the machine.

This evening I almost started IQ on a different machine - with the same file - but I stopped myself out of fear of what might happen-

Would this be dangerous to do? I mean if I open the file now and make changes to it, what happens when I go back to the first machine where the file is technically still open? I realise the file is saved so should be safe enough, but I had changed some IQ settings too. I can work around this by simply not connecting the usb stick & close IQ, then reopen it again.

Is there a way to save IQ's settings? Didnt there used to be a "Save" for that? Dont see it now....

IQ uses a multi-user database (Jet 4.0) so multi-user access / modifications is not a problem.

Your post is not clear however... If the file is on a USB stick, how can you open the same file from a different machine ? Aren't you opening a copy of the file ?

Well,yes,

the file is on the usb stick, which was connected to machine #1, and open when I hibernated, and then I wanted to open it on machine #2 which prompted my queries.

I thought I could just reconnect the usb stick to #1 (tomorrow) before restarting it, but then I thought I might be confusing IQ as the file would no longer be the same.

But it sounds like thats no problem.

hope that makes sense...

But does IQ permit one user to search across multiple dBs?

Hi Jan,

This is an unrelated question...

to which the answer is : No
