If you don't know the basics of network sharing and user management, you shouldn't be trying to set up multi-user or client-server based database applications. As I posted earlier: "....3. Click the View tab, and then de-select "Use Simple File Sharing" Now you can set proper permissions on your resources and authenticate using accounts with appropriate permissions." If you don't understand the last part, you shouldn't be messing with the first part. This is an SQL Server list. I, and apparently others, assumed that anyone who had set up SQL Server installations using WIndows authentication would have learnt at least the basics of Windows network security. Take a look around http://compnetworking.about.com/od/windowsfilesharing/ or spend ten minutes with Google and "Windows file sharing". -- Stuart
