No need for a special version. Just do the following things.

1. Split the database into a Frontend (queries, reports, forms, etc.) and a
Backend (tables only).
2. Place a copy of the backend on your server.
3. Place a copy of the Frontend on each user's machine (make sure the links
are correct)

You r right, i have another problem ...

When the file is opne in 1 computer, the other one can't open it and got
this error .."Could not lock the file"

I opened users so more than 1 computer can use the database and also in the
options i set up the file for "Shared" in the advanced Tab.

What should i do now ?
