Folder Properties/Security

Hello,

On an XP OS (I’m guessing NTFS); what’s the minimum amount of
permission you can give someone and still enable him/her to read/write
to an mdb? I.e., I want to limit their ability as much as possible (I
know the writing to file part gets a little tricky).

Thanks,
alex

Every user of the database needs full permissions (read/write/create/delete)
on the folder. This is due to the need to create/delete the lock file for
the database.

The folder requires full create/delete permissions but you can deny "delete"
permission to the file itself. Anything above that and you're looking at
user-level security.

Keith,
How do I deny delete permission to the file itself?
