Re: Protect File from Deletion

I have an Access database on a network drive and I am worried about
someone accidentally deleting it. Is there a way to protect the
database from being deleted?

Users need fairly full permissions on the folder so the locking file (LDB) can
be properly managed. You can give them delete perms on the folder but not on
your MDB file but you will have to reset that every time you compact the file.
