Access isn’t a client server application like a SQL Server or an Oracle database.
All traffic from the Access application which is opened on the client computer to the machine which hold’s the mdb file with the database will be sent over the standard SMB network ports which are TCP 135 and TCP 445.
However there will be a lot of other traffic in there which as other network share traffic. If the machine with the file server is also a domain controller you’ll have to deal with all the domain authentication traffic as well.
It might be easier to setup some auditing within the access application instead.
