Hello for one of my System Development Methodiology classes I have to develop something that will keep track of several projects that a local hospital has going on. We are to develop this in access and it should be able to show how far till completion the project is and several people should be able to update the database.

I usually do not use access and do not know much about it but is an access database able to be updated simultaneously and remotely? If so were could I be directed to find out more about.

Wrox has a number of great books on Access. How about there?

Yes, you can do this. In fact, Microsoft Project is really a packaged Access application (Or Access/SQL if you use Professional) so follow that design. You can use Access to peak into the table structure in Project, so maybe that will give you some ideas.
