 Hello,
 
At work we have individual network folders (Shared Drives), and I am wondering if it would be safe to place a database on the shared folder?
 
I ask because I would like to run IQ on a USB key, so that I can plug it into any computer on site and it will connect to the database which would always be at U:\IQBases\
 
Is it safe to do so?
 
Thanks,
Josh

IQ uses the JET 4.0 database engine and as such is network ready (LAN)
It also support multi-user access. 
 
Finally, it is also possible to separate the UI and data into 2 distinct database (though it hasn't been tested in a long time, but it worked fine when tested)
In that configuration, each user can have his own UI elements (grids, forms, etc) but share common data (items, fields, field-values)

 Thank you!
 
If I want to move my current databases to the network folder, should I just copy and paste then launch them there?
 
Thanks,
