FE/BE and networking a database

[Army MI]

I have a database in which i have 6 other users that i want to be able to
connect to and update their own info. I have established the security and
user logins already but i am not sure how to have them link to it. Beacuse
due to the nature of the network i have to have them connect straight to a
shared folder on my computer but everytime i test it by clicking on the
shortcut to the file it cant find the databse file. any help would be
appreciated.

I explain splitting in detail here:

In general, you like need to setup a shortcut on each user's machine that
specify the workgroup file that should be placed with the back end on the
server.

so,

font end: place front end part, and use a shortcut to launch this front
end. The shortcut will specify the workgroup file on the shared folder.

The front end should be linked to the back end tables by using UNC path
name (this just means use network to browse to the back end, not a shared
drive letter).

Both of the above issues are explained in the above article....
