Hi, You could purchase a small Network attached external drive, and place the file on there. Each computer could access a common share. I would suggest that any method you use, make sure that the data file is backed up at least once a day. Regards Argy

Hi, You can setup a folder to share the location on one computer to the other, and you can place the access database in there. you will need to make sure you have set the right permissions to access the folder and that you have turned on sharing in the access database as well. This will mean you will need to move it from the my docs folder it currently resides in by default. If you need a hand to set this up please give us a call or email us. thanks Grant
