For sql express, can multiple computers access same database file on
a shared network drive? This is for a small client with 3-5
computers. I do not wish to use Express if I am heading into
multi-user issues

Thanks
 
I'm not a SQL Express expert, but I wouldn't do it that way. Better to
install SQL Express on the common machine and then connect the clients to
the common SQL Server instance. I'm not sure of the multi-user restrictions
on SQL Express, but it should be able to handle 3-5 users.

Others can correct me if I am wrong.
