can I use msde use for small workgroup

Hi,
I have an access database for 3-5 users. Currently, the size of database
increase which in turn reduce the database performance. I thing to put the
back end to SQL by using MSDE since my unit cannot afford the SQL Server
version.
Can I use msde to host data in a shared drive in the network. If so how?

You want to examine SQL Server 2005 Express Edition. It is a free download,
and should work for you quite well.
