[AccessD] User cannot save table column widths in ADP (Cross posted)

Before I get chastised for letting a user into a
table, it was something that had to happen to get him
to stop using an older access MDB, and over with the
rest of the company which uses an Access 2003 ADP FE
and SQL 2K BE.

This user has Select, Insert, Update and Delete rights
to this table. He views the table through Access. He
adjusts the column widths to his liking and can change
the data in the table, but when he closes the table,
he gets a message stating that he cant change the
column layout because he doesnt have rights. Does
anyone know what might be causing this?

TIA,
David
