    MS Access on a share drive


    So if a database is to be placed on a shared drive, what procedures can be put in place to identify which individual made what changes? Is that possible?

    You want to elaborate a little. Do you have a specific application with real tables and real users in mind?
    You might wish to research AUDIT Log Audit changes to a database.

    Also, if more that one person will use it concurrently, it should (must?) be split:
