By default, read-only is how folders are shared in Windows XP when following the wizards. You need to give full access to the shared folder for all users. Understand the risks of doing this before actually doing it. Setting this up improperly could leave the PC open to outside attacks.

I recently developed an Access database program for a ministry I am involved with at Glenkirk Church called Shepherd's Pantry. We need a DB to track people we serve so I decided to give it a try. After some struggling, I have managed to create a DB I think will meet our needs but there is one problem: we have a network of three PC's at the Pantry and the DB cannot be updated by all three PC's. I did manage to get all three PC's to share the DB but only in the 'read only' mode. Any changes to the database on PC's 2 or 3 cannot be saved? We get an error message but I forget exactly what the message says. I am using Microsoft Office 2003 Access, and XP Home operating system on new Dell PC's. The three PC's are networked together through a Linksys router. I take it we cannot just use standard Access in a network and be able to update the database from multiple PC's? It occurred to me we made need to have a dedicated server running Windows NT or something like that? Anyway, I hope this makes sense and would certainly appreciate any help you can provide.
