How do I link many forms to one database

by joeplaisted . Updated 22 years, 11 months ago

Hello,
I have a project manager that wants me to set up a database on his computer that is a fairly simple database for his junior project managers. The database has the following fields:

PM (for project manager’s name)

Project Name

Follow up dates

Start Date

Completion Date

I am using MSAccess 2000 for the database. As I said it is a simple database to set up, but I would like to be able to have the junior PMs to enter the information from their terminals. The file for the database is going to be stored on a pooled drive so each of them is going to have access to it at all time so long as the network is up and running. My questions is should I just put a short cut to the file on their desk tops that allows them to open the pooled file and form? Is this the easiest way to do this? or is there another way? Should I get more complicated?
