How do I share an Access database on a network drive?

I have created a public folder on a network drive and attempted to copy an
Access work order database to it by "copying and pasting"and "dragging and
dropping". Initailly I could not get the database to open but solved this
problem by copying the entire Access program to the network drive. Once I got
the program to open I entered a record on a form I called up fromathe
database switchboard; I closed the database and reopened it to enter another
record; when I opened the form I was taken to form 1 but there was no saved
data (evedently data that is entered will not save.

You mentioned that you looked in the form for the previously-entered data.
If that form is a data entry form, you wouldn't find the previous data.

Have you looked in the underlying table to see if the data actually got
entered?
