OK, since you're using an Access database, you have to put it on a share and give everyone read AND write permissions to the share.

Your connection string has to be modified to point to the database file in this share (preferably a UNC path and not a mapped drive letter!!)

Access is not the most secure thing to use. You'd be better off scrapping it and going with a real SQL Server.
