Hello

I recently developed a VB.NET application that uses Microsoft Access Database. I would like to find out if the application can be used on a LAN Network.

Thank You

Okay.... you have permission to go find out.

That mainly depends on how flexible you allow the connection string to be. But Access isn't a very good choice; you will likely find that another database system, particularly one that is not file-based, works better across a network.

1) DON'T SHOUT. Using all capitals is considered shouting on the internet, and rude (using all lower case is considered childish). Use proper capitalization if you want to be taken seriously.
2) Depends. It might: but if you are thinking of using it as multiuser, then no. It'll "work" and then fall over spectacularly when you don't expect it to.
