Microsoft Access Database 365
Is it possible to run the database allowing multiple users to work simultaneously. We have an older version of Access which is server generated and would like to continue using this program in this ...
What exact version of Access are you using now? You added the tag "Access Web Database" which means something very specific (and very deprecated).
Assuming that was a mistake: Access is multi-user out of the box. It should be split into a front-end to be distributed to all users, and a back-end on a file server in the LAN.

I am aware that the software is multi use. We upgraded to Microsoft 365 and cannot use the access app as we did when it was installed on the DC server. I need at least 2 users to access the software and view each other work simultaneously. Sharing is not allowing this to be done. The version installed was 2007 and was upgrade to 2010. It is a desktop version not cloud base.
- You'll have to be more specific.
Do you indeed have the application installed as I outlined, with front-end and back-end?
Assuming yes, did you re-link the linked tables to the new location of the back-end?
What if any errors are you getting? Please quote any error messages verbatim.
