necessary permissions

[Guest]

I recently split my secured database and placed the back end of it on our
server. I have a general logon Name for people to use which has read-only
permissions.

This logon Name and it's password work fine for me however, others are
trying to use it and receive the error message:

"You do not have the necessary permissions to use the ‘\\mzhofs01\groups\PK
Specs\PK Spec DB\MARZETTI_be.mdb’ object."

Any ideas why the logon Name is working for me but not for others?

Thanks!

Are your users all connecting with the correct Workgroup file?
Typically, you'd either store the file in the backend directory, or
you'd distribute the exact same file to all users, and they would use
that to connect. Most apps use a desktop shortcut with a Target value
like this:

"Full path to MSACCESS.EXE" "Full Path to your DB" /wrkgrp "Full path
to your workgroup file"

Hey John,
I am not one of the Access Experts but I may have an answer. Even when I
create a database on the network, the tables still link to my home network
directory (split database). I have to use someone else's log-on account for
Windows, Open the fe database ,and go to Database Utilites \ Linked Table
Manager and remap the link to the tables. I only have to do that once and
then I can load the front end on any machine.

If the below path that you provided as part of the error message, is the path
to your home directory and not the network where the be resides, than that is
what the problem is and the solution is provided above.
