Yes they can. You don't describe you system, but I assume you have a network
of workstation computers and one or more servers?
The standard Access application architecture is this:
1. Split the database file into 2. One is the Front End
(myApplicationFE.mdb) and contains all the forms, reports, code modules etc.
The other file is the Back End (myApplicationBE.mdb) and contains nothing
but data tables. The Front End contains links to the tables in the back end.
2. Put a copy of the front end on every user's workstation who you want to
use the database.
3. Put the Back End on the server.
So now every use will be accessing the same data, but using their own front
end.
That's it briefly. There's a wizard to help you. Tools/Database
Utilities/Database Splitter.

I have set up an access database with a switchboard to multiple forms,
reports, etc. I have gotten comflicting information about whether or
not staff throughout my facility will be able to view the information
simultaneously. I have been told if it is set up properly it will be
possible, but I am wondering how to set it up so this is possible. I
am sure others have donethis already, care to share?
