# Database Editing

To avoid conflicts with multiple users editing data concurrently, only one network user can have read-write access to a database table at a time. The first user to open a database table will have full access to it; all subsequent users will have read-only access while the database table is in use by the first user. If any table is already in use the following applies: ▪The caption in the dialog will include "[Read-Only]". ▪'Add', 'Edit', and 'Delete' buttons will be disabled. ▪The record properties grid will not allow individual properties to be changed.
