Hello, I have created a database in MS Access that has multiple forms in order to help my co-workers enter "invoices" for our customers and to keep up with information. There are 4 computers in our office, and none of them have MS Access installed (Only MS Office 2003 Student/Teachers edition). I would like to set up all the computers to use the same database, but I'm confused about how to do it. Do I need to buy 4 copies of MS Access to load on the other PC's, or will the licensing agreement for 1 copy cover up to 5 PC's? And also, will I need to look into Server software in order to get this to work right?
Please help!

I don't think the license extends to 5 computers. Each computer should have its own copy.
