Can't do anything

[Denise]

Hello,

I was the administrator on a database that I created...and
recently I recieved a new PC at work. I went from
97- 2000 and now I can't do anything in the database..(It
won't let me save changes or create new things) The
database was saved on a shared drive so I don't get
it...how can I erase any existing securities? I didn't
even put anything on there in the first place.

What should I do?

Thanks,

Denise

The save process in 2000 is different than in 97 ... in 2000, you MUST have
exclusive access to the database in order to make and save changes. In 97,
you could work on objects while others were banging away at the db ... not
so in 2000.

RE: security - are you receiving a logon prompt, or do you have to enter a
password to get into the database?
