If the users have a drive mapped to the network share, they can open
the workbook using that drive:

Workbook.Open "M:\Folder\Book1.xls"

If security policy allows direct access to the network share, you can
use

Workbooks.Open "\\ServerName\ShareName\Folder\Book1.xls"

Beyond that, there isn't much to it.

Excuse me for this intervention but if A open the workbook on a net share B
and/or C can open it at the same time too? Aren't there problem of
syncronization, consistency and other like those indicated in ACID property
of a database?
Thank you in advance.

Is it possible to keep an excel based database on a server and access it
through VBA from another workbook via the internet? I am sure I should
probably be using Microsoft Access for this sort of thing. But for now is
this possible with Excel VBA?
