The database would need to be somewhere accessible by everyone who you wanted
and can have permission on it.
Best practice would be to use SQL or SQl Express rather than Access if
multiple users will be using it concurently.
If storing all of the dat in Access you would probably just have one form
which interacted with the data.
Otherwise yes the XML documents would be stored somewhere, probably
centrally, too.
