[AccessD] Database Permissions

>From Windows Explorer right click on the mdb and select properties. Select the Security tab. Make sure the appropriate users/groups have the permissions they need; usually Modify, Read & Execute, Read and Write. Typically this would be the Everyone group but you can restrict access to other groups and users.

If the mdb was originally created in a folder to which only admins had privileges those privileges stay with it when it is moved to another folder.

Subject: [AccessD] Database Permissions


Dear List:

I am hoping that someone can at least point me in the right direction here
...

I have an A2K database (MDB), unsecured (no passwords or anything like
that), running on Windows XP Professional. Only users with administrative
rights can open or use it. How can I change it so that normal (limited)
users can work with it too?

The limited users have no problem running access, just opening this
database.

TIA,
Bob Gajewski
