Install MS Access on the file server?

Real big time trainee question here. If i do a remote desktop login, I can't open an. .accdb file stored on the file server. So I copy it to my desktop, manipulte it, save it, and then copy and paste (upload) it back to the file server. It would be easier to open it remotely and I don't want to start a big learning curve on SQL. Can somebody give me the facts of life on this issue?

Thanks
