Default client/server setup

I'm trying to set up a client/server application where multiple people will
be simultaneously editing a single table. (Each user will be restricted to
only those records belonging to him and there should be no overlap).

I know how to create the client and server pieces but I'm not sure what I
might need to do to allow the multiple simultaneous read/write access. Any
ideas? TIA.

Access is multiuser, out of the box. You don't need to do all that much!

Use a "Split" database: the table (or tables) should be in a shared "backend"
database, and each user should have their own copy of a "frontend", containing
the forms, queries, reports and code, linked to the backend. You can use
Tools... Database Utilities... Database Splitter Wizard to split it for you.

Access is a database management system. It can handle shared access to
data from multiple clients. Having said that, its multi-user
capabilities are limited so if you have many simultaneous users you
should consider using a different solution, such as an SQL Server
database.

How many simultaneous users do you expect?
