Access will support multiple simultaneous users. The problem is perfomance. Depending on a number of factors, it might get slow after 5 users or so. And you have to be careful about how you do record locking. But it can work quite well in a well-designed system. For large workgroups and large recordsets, you will be better off using Access as the front end and moving the data into Microsoft's SQL -- or better yet into a good backend like PostgreSQL.
