Can I share Access in a home network?

Guest

I have purchased a laptop and would like to work on an Access database on
that machine. The database and the Access software are on my desktop machine,
which I have networked to the laptop; I can get to the database, but not the
software.

Can I share the Access software on my home network, and if so, how?

If not, can I install Access on the laptop using the software that came with
my desktop?

Hi Julie,
If not, can I install Access on the laptop using the software that came with
my desktop?

Yes, as long as you are the primary user of the laptop. Check out the EULA
(End User License Agreement), which you should be able to find on the
Contents tab of the Help file.
