Re: Help - Security Issue



'Had it setup' implies that you had someone else do this. You need to
verify that *all* users have this permission.

You can verify, by having a user open Windows Explorer, and attempt to
create a file in that folder (just right-click, New, text file will do). If
they can create it, can they save it? Can they then delete it?

If this checks out, it's possible that things weren't cleaned up from the
previous problem.

With everyone out of the mdb, check in the folder to see if there is any
file with a ldb extension. If this file(s) exists, delete it(them).

Also ensure that your mdw file does not have the same name as the mdb in the
same folder. They each need to create an associated ldb file; with the same
name they can't.

I've put this question in here before, but have not resolved my
problem. I have a split database, with the back end out on a server.
The front end is on all user's individual PC's. I also have a
security mdw which I've created and seems to work fine. The problem
I'm having is if more than one person tries to open the database,
they receive an error message saying "Cannot access the FILENAME,
file already in use." What do I do? I was told that users should
have full permissions to the shared folder which holds the back end.
I have now had that set up, but the problem has not been resolved.
Any ideas?

thank you,
Janet
