You really need to split your application into a shared "backend", containing
the tables, and a "frontend" with links to the tables, forms, reports, queries
etc. Each user should have their OWN copy of the frontend. Tools... Database
Utilities... Database Splitter Wizard will set this up for you. See
http://www.granite.ab.ca/access/splitapp.htm for details and rationale.
