not possible. With multiple users your database must be split and you can locate the data (the backend) on the web (sharepoint/sql azure/amazon web services)
Access web services (which had a html front end/sharepoint backend) is being discontinued but so far as I am aware, you can still connect to sharepoint lists using a client based access front end. However sharepoint is not ideal, would recommend sql azure.
If you want help, please be clearer about your current setup. Does each employee have their own machine? are they in the same office? can they share a folder for the backend? Do they work from home/on the road? Are they all using windows? do they all have the same version of Access? Are they all on 32bit or 64bit office (not windows, that a given these days)? or a mixture? Do they all have similar sized screens? How important is uptime, or to put it another way, how is your business affected if there is a power outage/loss of broadband?
