Control an Access database, Access project, or data access page in an online meeting

The host controls the Microsoft Access database, Microsoft Access project, or data access page when the meeting starts. The host can allow collaboration by the participants and can turn off collaboration at any time. When collaboration is turned on, any participant can control the Access database, Access project, or data access page, but only one person at a time can have control. When collaboration is turned off or on, multiple users can work simultaneously in Chat or on the Whiteboard.

Control the Access database, Access project, or data access page as the host

  • To turn on collaboration, click Allow others to edit Button image on the Online Meeting toolbar.
  • To take back control of the Access database, Access project, or data access page when collaboration is turned on, click anywhere in the Access data file.
  • To turn off collaboration, click Allow others to edit again if you have control, or press ESC if you don't have control.

Control the Access database, Access project, or data access page as a participant

To take control of a shared Access database, Access project, or data access page the first time, double-click anywhere in the Access data file. Thereafter, you can gain control by clicking anywhere in the Access data file.

Only the host of the meeting can use the Online Meeting toolbar. If you want more control of Microsoft NetMeeting features during an online meeting you must use the NetMeeting program directly by clicking Microsoft NetMeeting on the taskbar.
