Hi,

Although i have never try this before but just give it a try.

1) Share Folder of your Access database on one computer.
2) Create short cut on all your four computer that pointing to Shared Access database.
3) Change your application configuration file to use short cut of your access database.

I also found this[^] link for sharing your Access database with different ways.

Thanks

you can try with similar way that i have just explain for database sharing. create shared folder for your application and create shortcut in all computers. but that's not preferable.

Amit's answer works.
let me explain.

Make a share folder.
Put mdb file in share folder.
Now change your connection string on all systems like

C#

<add key="ConnectionString" value="Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=\\10.11.1.1\FileInventory\FileInventory.accdb;Jet OLEDB:Database Password=omaxe" />

Now bulit your application and run............

OleDbConnection con = new OleDbConnection("Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=|DataDirectory|/furnituredb.mdb");
I put it in bin of my project. now if i give the connection string as you mention

It works but on your system only.
when you want to share mdb file then why do you have put in bin folder.
