I'm posting in hopes that this information is helpful to others who have benefited from Richard's superb tutorials and completed their database, only to find out, as I did, that the recipient the database was intended for does not have an existing dedicated server.  

My client did not want to spend any money buying a server, licenses, etc., so it fell to me to make sure my database was able to be used. Unfortunately, I'm a complete amateur, and could not figure out a cost-effective way to do this. My last hope was emailing Richard for any advice he could give, and he certainly came through for me!

Richard's advice worked like a charm. Granted, it took me 11 days to correctly set up, but this method works perfectly. What he suggested was using a Remote Desktop Connection with Windows Server 2008 Standard. The first is already on your computer under Start> All Programs> Accessories, and the latter can be downloaded from Microsoft's website (you can't use the Express version for this, but you can download Standard as a trial). I simply installed Windows Server 2008 on an old computer, used trial and error (mostly error) to configure settings, and now multiple users can log simultaneously from any location!

So I hope this helps someone, and Richard: THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
