I have secured an Access 2002 database that is used by multiple users via
Terminal Server for some time with Access' native user and group security. I
did not use the Security Wizard to do this a long while ago as I was under
the impression that it has some undesirable consequences. I have also known
for some time that if you double-click on the db by mapping to the network
share that the Access db resides on you can bypass the security and I have
not been able to change ownership of the db away from admin, even by logging
into a new Access database as the account that I want to have ownership of
the db and importing all the database objects into it. I have several
questions.
1) Is the wizard the only way to change ownership?
2) Do I have to create a brand new mdw and recreate all the users and groups
to change ownership?
3) If the db is replicated, as it is, does other users using that mdw stop
ownership from being able to be changed--ie, do you have to be the only one
using the mdw to change ownership?
Thank you in advance for your time and replies.
