I am trying to get my application to install using Access 2003 developer
extensions.

The intention is to install a front-end (mde) back-end (mdb) pair on a
user's computer. Currently I am testing the software for stand-alone
operation. Using Virtual machine with win xp and logged-in as a supervisor I
have installed the package in
"C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Database"
I have preivously also tried installing it in: "C:\Program Files\My Database"

In both cases, when I log-in as a limited user, the application fails on a
non-updatable query even though hte same query is updatable when run by a
supervisor. Win explorer shows both files to be not read-only.

I have also tried re-creating the mdb files in a shared directory in order
that they dont inherit protection from a private directory.

I am stumped - any suggestions?

Does the limited user account have create-file permission in the shared
directory? It will have to be able to create and write to the backend.ldb
file in order to have write access to the data tables.

Mind you, I am constantly mystified about what Windows allows for sharing
and what it doesn't.

Best of luck
