What is the best way to share an MS Access Database. I keep getting "Operation Must be an Updateable Query"

In my vb.net code in the connection string I have specified the location on the network where the access database is located. //POS1/C/DB/myFile.mdb
I can read the data via the network, but it any pc tries to update it, it throws the error.

Is there something I need to do with record locking to prevent this? Should I just upgrade him to MSDE (it would involve changing every oledb connection to sql connection)
 
It sounds like you have read permission on the location but not write permission. Connecting to an Access database via a network is just like any other file operation to that same location. Can you edit a text file in the same folder?
