Sharing a data base

[Cran29]

I am going to store my data baes on a server at work. How do I enable four or five people access to this data base on a read only basis and full access to myself. Can many view at the same time if so how do I enable this function. Security how can I stop it from being copied or corrupted as well I have heard about front end and back end how does this work.

split it into fe and be. and how about user level security??

make sure in the options the db's default open mode is shared and not exclusive.

Yes front end and back end can you give me a start on that one as I dont see a front or a back at the moment.
