DB access and Permissions in Access 2003

I have a user who maintains a rather large Access 2003 database on a LAN.
She is using Access's user account system to control access to the database.
She has two users that have been granted access to the database and are in
the appropriate security groups for LAN access that cannot open the database.
Access itself generates a permissions error. Previously we were able to fix
the issue by having her delete the users' Access accounts on the database and
re-creating them, however this time that did not work. It seems that no
matter what we do, we cannot get access to this Access DB to work. Any
suggestions?
 
Access MDB security sucks a big fat hairy dick

lose the rosy glasses; MDB as a whole has been broken for a decade

use a real tool like SQL Server
spit on anyone that uses MDB for anything

I mean seriously here-- what the **** is wrong with you people?

thats right delete all Access MDB and start from scratch in Access

Access MDB doesn't run well over a LAN
especially if you have more than a single user

Make sure that the users have Read/Write/Create/Delete/Modify permission to
the directory that contains the .mdb file. I had quite a nightmare with with
a simmilar issue and found out that our IT department had only assigned the
users Read/Write/Modify permission to the directory. Without proper
permissions, Access can not properly manage its .ldb files and will cause all
kinds of headaches.
 
with SQL Server you can 'really and truly secure your data'

with MDB you're stuck with a bunch of crap and you can't even really
support multiple users

get real; MDB _SUCKS_

the security isnt' tight enough _AT_ALL_ i mean; a simple password can
bulk attack any MDB file and break into it.

with 'teraflop on a single chip' _HERE_ in the next year; it would be
ridiculous to trust MDB for anything
