The connection string is the same...

1) Share the folder with MS Access 2007 database (let say MyDatabase).
2) On each front-end machine, add this folder to the collection of mapped folders, using drive letter (let say: G:\). How?

Here, you'll find the connection string: http://www.connectionstrings.com/access-2007[^]
Remeber, your database is on G:\ (mapped folder) drive ;)
