Re: Object permissions

Thank you for the replies, but it really doesn't matter whether I'm trying to
change the owner to a group or an individual, it still says that I don not
have the permission to change the object's owner....but I am the owner of
that object, so I should have the permission to change it. Also, I do set the
querie's run permissions to 'owners' in the sql statement each time the code
runs, but it isn't that the person running the code doesn't have permission
to run the query, they can actually open the query once the sql is set. They
just can't set the sql itself. Below is the code used to set the sql for the
query:

'set query for attendance logs
strSQLAttendance = _
"SELECT tblPayroll.CompNo, Month([Date]) AS [Month], Day([Date])
AS [Day], " & _
"tblPayroll.Date, Sum(tblPayrollDetails.Hrs) AS
SumOfHrs, " & _
"tblEmployees.EmployeeLastName,
tblEmployees.EmployeeFirstName, " & _
"tblPayroll.Reason, First(tblPayroll.HrsMissed) AS
FirstOfHrsMissed, " & _
"tblAttendanceReasonCodes.AbsenceTypeID " & _
"FROM ((tblPayroll INNER JOIN tblEmployees ON tblPayroll.CompNo
= tblEmployees.CompNo) " & _
"LEFT JOIN tblPayrollDetails ON tblPayroll.PayID =
tblPayrollDetails.PayID) " & _
"INNER JOIN tblAttendanceReasonCodes ON
tblPayroll.Reason = " & _
"tblAttendanceReasonCodes.AttendanceReasonCodeID " & _
"WHERE (((tblEmployees.EmployeeNo) =" & EmpNo & ") And
((Year([Date])) =" & _
varYear & ")) " & _
"GROUP BY tblPayroll.CompNo, Month([Date]), Day([Date]),
tblPayroll.Date, " & _
"tblEmployees.EmployeeLastName,
tblEmployees.EmployeeFirstName, tblPayroll.Reason, " & _
"tblAttendanceReasonCodes.AbsenceTypeID " & _
"ORDER BY tblEmployees.EmployeeLastName,
tblEmployees.EmployeeFirstName " & _
"WITH OWNERACCESS OPTION "
Set objQDF = CurrentDb().QueryDefs("qryAttendanceActual")
objQDF.SQL = strSQLAttendance
objQDF.Close

Hi, Joan.

You can, and I have, made a group the owner of an object.

Doh! Thanks for the correction. I could have sworn I've done the same thing as
Scott and received the same error message because I accidentally grabbed the
group name, not the user name when I assigned the new owner. I can see that
there's no such problem when I try it now.

Thanks.

So I tried to change the object's owner to the group "Admins"

Am I missing something here?

Yes. You may assign one -- and only one -- user as the new owner of
the object. A group is not a user. A group contains zero to many
users as members, so a group is related conceptually to users, but a
group can't substitute for a user as the "owner."

You can, and I have, made a group the owner of an object. Doesn't matter in
Scott's case, but I thought I'd point out that this can be done.
