Adding Data in Access 2007 Runtime

J

Jim Compton

I'm fairly new to Access, but thought I kinda knew what I was doing until I
tried to run a program on Runtime.

I have a simple database that needs used by people both with and with MS
Access '07 on the network, so I found runtime and installed it on one of the
computers. I went through and set up the database in Access '07, set up a
Switchboard to access the forms (separate ones for add and edit on forms, run
reports, and all that good stuff).

Tested it by making a shortcut with "/runtime" to make sure everything was
cool. It runs beautiful until I try to run it on a machine that just has the
runtime. Suddenly, I can look at the data, but I can't add any new records
or change any of the ones that are currently there on the machine without the
full version of Access, but I can with a full set of Access running the
/runtime. What am I doing wrong?

Just a couple of thoughts here; did you place the runtimeversion in a
'trusted' environment, do the users have sufficient rights from that
environment (are the assigned write rights in the specific directory).

I feel like an idiot. Never even thought about modify rights on the directory.

Thanks. Works like a charm now.
