Not true. When you link a table, an .ldb is created for both the FE and BE, when it's being used. (You are accessing the data, right?) The .ldb on the backend isn't 'created' until the linked table is used, though, which is why a lot of developers create a 'permanent' link process, to maintain the connection to the backend. That can speed up a lot of things in a FE/BE scenario.

Your rights to the tables in that MDB are controlled by your OS rights to the folder it is in. No LDB gets opened at all for the MDB you are linked to in this case.

I was going to agree with Jim on full control is needed so the user can write to the .ldb, but your testing seems to bear this out. Our system is setup so that users have full control on the folders and I use Access security within that. -----Original Message----- From: Mitsules, Mark S.

Because in this afternoon's testing I set up a test case where the user was given only Read & Execute, List Folder Contents, and Read to the folder containing the remote db. That user was able to execute a select query in datasheet view, but was not able to modify any of the entries. That's as far as I was able to take the testing thus far.

You need to use Access level security. All users, regardless of what they do once inside the container need full rights where the directory resides and read/modify on the MDB file itself.

(Newport News) Sent: Wednesday, April 07, 2004 1:36 PM To: '[AccessD]' Subject: [AccessD] Permissions Refresher Group, I have a database that is currently restricted (by folder permissions) to only a few individual persons. I am now in the process of creating a database for general use that needs to link to a table in that restricted database. Out of the following permissions, what is the minimum necessary to allow a user to execute select queries, but not allow any modifications to the data? Permissions: Allow/Deny? Full Control Modify Read & Execute List Folder Contents Read Write TIA, Mark -- _______________________________________________ AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com -- _______________________________________________ AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com -- _______________________________________________ AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com -- _______________________________________________ AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com -- _______________________________________________ AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com
