Multiple users controlling the same servers?

it's deep, but it's there

Thanks for the fast response.
Unfortunately, that feature requires all the users be using a SQL data source and we are currently just using the default individual source. This is really a significant feature and I would like to take advantage of it.

Is it fairly simple to setup a shared data source and does it have to be SQL or MySQL?
How about a Visual FoxPro or ODBC kind of thing?

Bump!

Anyone have a "tried and true" method to simply set up a shared data source?

You need SQL Server or mySQL because we use the logs to find if someone is connected.

SQL Server Express is free, you just need a computer to run the service that is accessible to all your team

I have installed SQL Express 2012 on my PC and gotten it working with RDM for my machine.

I got my co-worker to see if he could connect and he could not. I read that SQL Express is not configured for remote access out of the box so I went to the links for how to do that and references are for SQL 2005 and something called "SQL Server 2005 Surface Area Configuration tool" which does not exist in 2012 apparently.

How do I enable remote access in 2012?

Using SQL Server Management Studio
To configure the remote access option
In Object Explorer, right-click a server and select Properties.
Click the Connections node.
Under Remote server connections, select or clear the Allow remote connections to this server check box.

SQL Express comes with SQL Server Configuration Manager, not the Studio.
Consequently, there is no corresponding menu options as such.

I found this, which may help. Will advise: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11278114/enable-remote-connections-for-sql-server-express-2012

Right, but you still can download it

When you click download in here....

you get to choose to download the management studio tool. Its really useful to have. I dont know if it'll change the firewall rules as well, but you already found instructions for that.

Thanks for that! Didn't see it listed there.

OK, got it working.

SQL Express 2012 is a little quirky to set up, but once it is - the rest is fine.
