Share a database? Am I on the right page?

Doesnt sharing work?

I shared my dbase on one pc , giving it full control over the LAN; however, when accessed on another PC, it gives a run time error and all forms appear without any labels and text boxes.

Can you explain why and provide a better alternative with minimum coding (as I have worked on dbase for a loooooong time and dont wish to work over the coding again)

Thanks again!!
