We have a single form that is not based on a query. My
question is can we have more then one person input on the
forms page from different pc's. The database is stored on
a shared space with multiple persons accessing at the same
time.

You can... but it's a BAD IDEA. A database shared in this way will
work, but not terribly well - you'll have slowed performance,
contention for forms and records, and faster bloating.

Consider using the database splitter wizard. This will put all the
tables into one database, yourdata_BE.mdb, which you would keep on the
shared space; and a second, yourdata.mdb, containing only the Forms,
Reports, and other such objects. Each user would get a copy of this
"frontend" database, which has links to the backend.
