title: Share a mdb file over network, for many computers, can't edit the application
body: <p>The company is using an old Delphi software, that uses a <code>.mdb</code> file as database.</p>
  
  <p>I can't change the way the application works, I don't have it's source.</p>
  
  <p>We are facing many problems such as:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Lock problems</li>
  <li>When an user adds an entry, it doesn't update the database, it only appears locally</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>The lock problems are solved for now, currently, the problem is that only the first user that connects to the <code>.mdb</code> can edit, add and delete entries, the other users do that to, but the changes are not applied to the db, it seems it's only apply locally, on the user machine.</p>
  
  <p>My question is, is <code>.mdb</code> supposed to work with many users over the network(3~4 people)?</p>
  
  <p>What Is there anything I can do to make this software works well with the <code>.mdb</code> file, with many users?</p>
  
  <p>Remembering that I cannot split the <code>.mdb</code>, as I cannot edit the Delphi application.</p>
