Access file in shared folder

[Carly]

I have placed a secured Access file on a shared folder.
The Access level permissions are set to two groups:
Admins and Users. The Admins group has, of course, full
permissions. The Users group has open/read permissions
only on everything.

When I, the creator of the file, open Access it prompts
me for a password.

When all other users (who also have full permissions on
the folder) open the file, they do not get a password
prompt and the db automatically opens as read-only. This
is alright with me, but I have one other person who need
to be an admin for the database and he can only open it
as read-only.

How do I get the other admin to have the same password
prompt as I have? I can't figure it out. This must have
to do with settings/files on my PC.

Any help would be sincerely appreciated!!!!!!!

TIA,
Carly

You can try to have the other Admin run the Workgroup
Administrator to join the new workgroup information file.
Go to Tools menu, Security, and then click Workgroup
Administrator. In the dialog box, click Join. Type the
path and name of the workgroup information file that
defines the Access workgroup you want to join, and then
click OK, or click Browse and then use the Select
Workgroup Information File dialog box to locate the
workgroup information file. Of course, do this from that
person's computer. Good Luck
