Displaying Access Database Remotely for Multiple Users

[Chris Gorham]

Hi,

I've designed an Access database and I want to be able to hold it centrally
on my company's network so that multiple users can operate it at the same
time...
How can I go about this...?? What's the easiest way, even if you can just
point me in the right direction...

Rgds....Chris

If you going to deploy the application to your local area network, then the
suggested approach is to split you database, and then install ms-access +
the front end part on EACH computer.

I explain in detail this splitting process here:

If you talking about remote use of the application by workers on the road,
and in different buildings etc, you likely are talking about what is a
called wan as opposed to lan. A WAN is a Wide Area Network. I explain some
solutions and talk about ms-access on a WAN here:
