Re: Mininum User Permissions for a shared file



They users need modify permissions on the folder, so that they can create
the associated ldb file. Without the create permission the backend will get
opened exclusively. They do not need delete permission on the folder.

Given these permissions you can't stop them from copying the file.

Consider hiding the share where the backend is located \\server\share$
rather than \\server\share

Hi, I'm going to place the back end Access data file in a shared

for reading, editing, deleteing and creating records in that file but
without allow somebody to delete that file from the shared folder.

It would be also welcome if nobody could copy that file.


Thanks in advance,
