I'd like to create an executable that can be run from a server and accessed by many people at the same time. Can someone point me in the right direction as far as what files need to be on the client's PC and what type of executable I need to create. Thanks in advance.
 
Create an ordinary Windows EXE.

Each client will need the VB runtime files, which they can get via a setup program you will create.

If the users will be updating any files (on the network share) you'll need to implement file locking to prevent corruption.

If the users will be updating data in a database (SQL Server, Oracle, or <gag> MS-Access) you will need to implement record-locking to prevent corruption.
