ODBC connection lost

[dayak]

Hi,

 

Can someone help me solv the following problem.

My PHP application connects to an ODBC data source. The ODBC data source is an Access database which is also used by a cash register application. It works fine until the cash register application connects to the database. Then the ODBC connection from my PHP application is lost. The Access database is multi-user (for example: I can connect to the database simultaniously from multiple instances of the cash register apllication).

When I use the ODBC datasource from Excel and connect to the database from the cash register application at the same time: no problem. I have searched the internet for solutions and haven't found any yet.

 

Thanks in advance.
