Yes, you certainly may

I think I said this before, but I use an Access Database as my recipe and pantry software. Since the database is contained on the network drive, all you need to access it is a computer hooked to the network with MS Access installed. No sync needed.
I had a pantry inventory option, but never had the time to keep it up to date, way too much maintenance there. Now I just use the search feature to search for recipes based on up to 10 ingredients. Recipe matches are listed in order of how many ingredients they use, the one with the most at the top and the one with the least at the bottom. I can then build my grocery list from there if I want to.

Personally i'd recommended getting as far away from MS Access as possible if this is anything beyond personal use. its a lousy database, fraught with problems of its own. the media mangament software i use left it in favor of SQL. Tried to use Access for a senior project in college. under light use it was okay, stress tested it with a classroom load and it blew up. my group did a 11th hour conversion to SQL and everything was golden.

I have recently made the computer conversion from PC's to Mac's. I have used Living Cookbook for years and love the program. I have tried several Mac based programs and cannot find one that comes close to the capabilities of cut and paste that Living Cookbook offers. Does anyone else use and have success with a Mac based recipe software?
