Optimal database development...please help me

[Stefano Fea]

Hi!
I have a problem. I need to develop an internal
transational database on a FIVE users LAN intranet. My
database must be multiuse, because the five users must be
able to fill it in with records nearly at the same time,
and most of all I need a quick interface to fill the
records, like a mask or something. What is the most
intelligent way to build it? Can I put an access file on
each pc, with the mask or something to put the data in
referring to a data table situated only on the main PC? Is
it reasonable?
Please Help me.

Hi

With 5 users only, I think a simple Acces project will do. Create a
multi-user database is a bit comlicated, for best search MS knowledge
database about it. For input, you have to create forms.

The simplest is place the database onto shared network resource, where all
users can access it. But you can also split database into frontend/backend
parts, where tables are placed on network resource, and interface is on
users computers (this allows you to have different interfaces for different
users too)
