Read only NTFS not allowing Read of MS Access

[Guest TKE402]

Hi,

 

I have several MS Access DB's that are in a folder that is Read/Execute for

Authenticated users. No one can open the DBs. If I change the permissions to

Read/Write/Execute than it works because the DB lock file needs to be written

to the folder that the DB is located. Is there anyway around this? I do not

want the users to have read,write, execute to that folder. All they need is

read and execute.

 

Thanks,

Hi - I replied to your identical post in another group (suggesting that you

post in an Access newsgroup for the most help). In the future, please don't

multipost - if you need to post to multiple groups, it's best to crosspost

instead, by posting a single message to a handful of relevant groups

(separate the NG names with commas) so that everyone can follow the thread.

Multiposting wastes everyone's time, including yours, and may lead to your

actually getting less help rather than more.

Ask users to copy the database to the local drive and open from there.

Try Access groups, too.
