Data Entry

[Guest]

I have a database that is divided into a FE and a BE. Each person has a copy
of the FE on their desktop that is tied to the BE on an external hard drive
of a networked PC. On one person's PC she can not enter data into any of the
Linked Tables. I am sure it has somethig to do with her security settings but
I am not sure which ones. We are using Access 2003.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi, Larry.

On one person's PC she can not enter data into any of the
Linked Tables.

Is she getting an error message or a warning message? If so, what is it?

Hi Gunny - Thanks for replying!

No there are no error messages involved. She just can not add any
information to linked tables. Local tables she can add information to, like
the dashboard table is editable.

Usually there are user and group permissions on folders in a network.
Each user must have permissions on the folder that allow Read/Write/
Change or Full Control. I'd guess that if no-one else were in the DB,
she couldn't open it at all. Right-Click on the folder and choose
Security/Permission from the pop-up menu. If you're not sure how to
make these changes, I would advise asking for help from the network
Admin (if there is one) or from someone else locally with enough
experience.

OH MAN I am so DUMB! I never thought about that! She is a newer employee and
I don't think I set her up on the shared drive! Thanks so much for pointing
that out to me!
