Phil, I'm forwarding your message to a list called AccessD run by
DataBaseAdvisors http://www.databaseadvisors.com/lists/whatandhow.htm as
the scope of your request is beyond my skills. I highly recommend you
join the list right away to see answers from people who reply to the
list instead of directly to you. I'm positive someone will be able to
help you.

My name is Phil Huisman and your brother Ken gave me your name as a
possible contact for help with Microsoft Access. 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. 
 
Thank you,
 
Phil Huisman
