Re: Sharing Access

Access is designed to do this, so go ahead and place the file in a folder
that is shared will full access.

For best results, split the database into two mdb files. There is a wizard
to do this for you:
Tools | Database Utilities | Database Splitter
For an explanation of how/why, see:
