PHPRunner General questions

I have an application under PHPR 6.2 / 16275 with an Acces DB.

Today tried several approx. 500 users to login "at the same time" to register for a sports event where registration startet at 0:00 h.

Unfortunately the applicytion (or my Windows server?) slowed down etremely and we had to close the entry forms.

QUESTION: does anyone have experience with simultaneous acces to PHPR & Acess DB and what could help to grant access?

MS Access will have troubles handling more than 20-30 simultaneous users. You need to use a real database like MySQL.

Thanks for this quick reply.

We used the "same" system and set up last year and it worked without any problems.

You think we were just lucky that it worked?

As you probably understand there is not enough info to provide any sort of meaningful answer. The only thing that caught my attention is the use of MS Access. I would not recommend to use MS Access when more than 20-30 simultaneous users is expected.
