    Welcome to the Forums

    Yes, you can have computers in your network connect to a shared access database as long as the share is accessible to all the desired systems that will connect to it.

    You could either setup a shared database like RobDogg said, or have one computer connected to the database (a server), and all other computers connect to the server to read/write from the database.

    The first option is probably the best, depending on the situation.

    We don't write code here, we assist you with the code you've written and are having trouble with.
    The most difficult part of developing a program is understanding the problem.
    The second most difficult part is deciding how you're going to solve the problem.
    Actually writing the program (translating your solution into some computer language) is the easiest part.
    Please indent your code and use [HIGHLIGHT="VB"] [/HIGHLIGHT] tags around it to make it easier to read.
