Sharing a database online with a small group

Question

I have a group of 11 people that should have access as well as the rights to modify and add information to a database I developed in Access 2007. Is it possible to share this DB for free, but still protect it for not being accessed without a user and a
code?

Hi,
There is more than one method to share Access database depending on different situations. Here is an article which provides an overview of the methods:

As this is SharePoint forum, I found some information with regard to sharing an Access database by using a SharePoint site. There are two methods: publish database and link to SharePoint lists.

As to security requirement, we could use authentication on SharePoint site to protect your information.
Please also ask the question in Access forum via the links below for more professional assistance:
