The host controls the Microsoft Access database (Microsoft Access database: A collection of data and objects (such as tables, queries, or forms) that is related to a particular topic or purpose. The Microsoft Jet database engine manages the data.), Microsoft Access project (Microsoft Access project: An Access file that connects to a Microsoft SQL Server database and is used to create client/server applications. A project file doesn't contain any data or data-definition-based objects such as tables and views.), or data access page (data access page: A Web page, published from Access, that has a connection to a database. In a data access page, you can view, add to, edit, and manipulate the data stored in the database. A page can also include data from other sources, such as Excel.) 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 (Chat: A Microsoft NetMeeting feature that opens a separate window in which online meeting participants can type and send text messages to each other.) or on the Whiteboard (Whiteboard: Microsoft NetMeeting feature that opens a separate window in which online meeting participants can type text; draw shapes; copy, paste, and delete objects; and highlight or point to text and graphics.).

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

• To turn on collaboration, click Allow others to edit 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 (Microsoft Access file: An Access database or Access project file. An Access database stores database objects and data in an .mdb file. A project file doesn't contain data and is used to connect to a Microsoft SQL Server database.).
• 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.

Note  The initials of the person in control appear next to the pointer.
