How?
Note To access the shared Access database from another computer, you must have one of following on the other computer: a local installation of Microsoft Access, a network installation of Microsoft Access (licensed on a per-user basis), or a run-time application. You can obtain a royalty-free license to install your run-time application on each computer when you purchase Microsoft Office 2000 Developer (MOD).
