Sharing Access Database over Network

We're creating an Access DB and have multiple users. They will be using this database. I'm reading my books, etc on this and still have yet to find a definitive answer. Is it possible to create a database that ALL users can access on a shared network at the same time? If so, would it be a spit db or replication? I know from past experience, when one user is in the DB, another user can't access it.

Thanks.

You must have been opening the database exclusively. By default, an Access database can be opened and used by multiple users.
