I did not (as far as I know) set up a domain when creating our network.
[On logging in to my PC, I enter a password, but there's nowhere to
choose a domain.] I did, in trying to fix this problem, set up an
account on my PC that matches the user account my wife uses on her PC
(folder in "Documents and Settings" has an identical name - "bonnied"
and this evening, made sure the name that appears on login is also the
same - "BDA"). Until this evening, the account type was "unknown." I
tried changing it to "Limited," then to "Computer Administrator." After
each change, I went to her PC, logged off and back on, and tried to get
to the database. Every time I got the same error (see original message).
  As I said in the original message, she can open other types of
documents from my "Shared Documents" folder, but not this Access
database. She is using MS Access 2002 (XP), I use MS Access 2000. Any
chance this has anything to do with the problem?
