Allow users to search a text file and displays results ot the screen in VB -

At the moment I am using Microsoft Access. Every month I import a text file into a table. The file is fixed length format. I have then created a basic form that allows users to search this table for the customer record. This is a manual and long process.

Can I use Visual basic and create a single table and then a form which will allow me to search the table and then displays the results to the screen. The application needs to be used by 20 users. Microsoft Access doesn't support multi-user environments of this size.

I was thinking of placing the VB application onto a server that all the users can then access to search for customers.
So once the file is on the server the VB application will automatically pick up the file and load it into a table. Users can then search this table for customers.

Is this possible?

Thanks
