I don't know anything about ACT, but I know of a company that does this 
with Access.  The Access data resides on the Samba server and the 
clients access it via share.  It works, but as most folks will tell you 
Access is a poor choice for such a solution.

All I can say is you will likely have to test it out to see if it works. 
  Have you googled this?

The company I noted above is running XP pro and some ME machines.  I 
doubt XP home will be a problem, if it works in they same way as the 
Access solution.
