Dear all,

I have setup Access in my computer in office and I have
designed a database for inputting some customers'
information. If my colleague also want to use it to input
his data. How can I do? Can I save it as a separate
database and run independently like powerpoint?
I know powerpoint can be saved with a independent player,
it lets people can play powerpoint without installing the
application of Powerpoint.
 
This is usually done by splitting your database into a frontend (forms,
reports, etc) and a backend (tables, perhaps queries) and linking your
tables (you can use the Linked Table Manager). You and your colleague would
each link to the SAME data tables, but you would each have your own copy of
the frontend.

This is an extremely simplistic explanation of multiuser ... there are many,
many issues concerning multiple users with Access databases many of which
perplex even the most experienced developers. I would advise you to read up
on these issues by searching through the Google archives and reading the
various multiuser newsgroups.
