I have designed a training databse which is currently stored in our shared
drive. I would like to allow two people to input information at the same time
by using the same form. Is this possible? If so, how do I do it?
I appreciate any support. Thanks

This should be working that way by default. Have you tried it? What error
do you get?

I also tought so. But when the second person attempts to open the databse it
pops up a msg saying So and so is using the databse and you can use as read
only.
What do you think?

You do not /have/ to, but you /should/, split your database into a
so-called "front end/back end" (FE/BE) structure. Google this & other
Access groups for those terms, to get more information.
