database accessibility question

[Lani]

Is there a way for ACCESS to allow multiple users to
enter data on the network database simultaneously? In my
experience, none of the Microsoft Office applications
allow multiple "write" access.

Is there an easy alternative?

Thanks for your help.

Access allows it without any changes. However, the recommended approach is
to split your application into front-end (containing the queries, forms,
reports, macros and modules) and a back-end (containing just the tables).
The back-end goes on the server, and each user has his/her own copy of the
front-end, preferably on their hard drive.
