File Permissions with Access 2007 and Vista

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

I am setting up a new Vista Ultimate computer that has Access 2007 installed.
I copied a previous Access database to my wife's documents folder and some to
my own. From my user account I can run all my previous Access databases in my
folder but when I (administrator) access the mda file in my wife's folder, it
will only open as read only. There are no permissions internal to the Access
Database, and I have tried setting the permissions temporarily on the file in
her account so that I am the owner and have full control. I have even turned
off the inheritable permissions and left only my account permissions with
full control with no change. However, from her account the mda file opens
and is fully editable.

How can I get Access to edit this file from both my account and hers?
