Yes, you should be fine in this shared environment. The Access internal systems will ensure that only one person is updating the field. If more than one people are trying to update the same field then the system will automatically prevent it.
Be sure to take back up as needed — at least every day.

> I don’t wanna split the table cause there nothing being changed for design just data entry.

This does not change design. Simply try it.

The way i have it right now is just the .accdb file shared in workgroup. I opened the file on computer “A” and opened the same file on computer “B” tried inputing data on both at the same time and worked perfectly fine. If I continue to do this will there be any data corruption there only a max of 3 users inputting data at the same time. I don’t wanna split the table cause there nothing being changed for design just data entry. So will I be ok to keep doing what im doing ??

Sorry big typo.

You do NOT need a SQL server but rather you need a server where other persons have access.

You only need to separate tables from interface and place these on the shared drive.
Interface file must use linked tables. Use master in access to do that.
