File Sharing Issue

Another employee and I share the same set of files on our server. The files are mostly Access databases. The bandwidth on our network is terrible to the point where if running a simple file import while the database is on the server, it takes about 30 minutes where when the database is on the local machine it takes less than 2 minutes. Copying the files back and forth from the server to the local machine and back is a pain in the rear but a necessity. The issue is, I don't what a situation where we both copy out the same file, make changes and then both write back the file to the server wiping out what the other has done. Any ideas to help manage the files? Just wanted some opinions on what works at other places.

It is said that God will give you no more than you can handle. I just wish God didn't have so much faith in me.
