How many users can access a file within the same workgroup, and at the same
time on one Vista Home Premium client?

Thanks

The question is ambiguous. If the OP means "what are the inbound
concurrent connection limitations" and understands that this does *not*
mean computers or users but *connections*, with the good possibility
that each computer will make more than one connection to a "server" machine:

Refer to "Device Connections" in the License Terms for Microsoft
Windows Vista. For more information please see:
http://www.microsoft.com/about/legal/useterms/

Inbound connections limit in XP - http://support.microsoft.com/?id=314882

5 - XP Home/Vista Home Basic
10 - Vista Home Premium/Vista Ultimate/XP Pro
49 - SBS 2000
74 - SBS 2003
Unlimited for full Server O/Ses

If the OP really means something like "I have a file hosted on a
'server' machine and how many users can be working with that file at one
time", the answer is: it depends on the application in which the file is
opened. For example, only one person can be working with an Excel
spreadsheet at one time (MS Office) but if he has purchased the
expensive multi-user version of QuickBooks then multiple users can be
working on a QuickBooks company file.
