Peer-to-peer/Access problem

[David Mainland]

I have a small database running on a wireless peer-to-peer
network that is giving me a problem. I imported a new
report and ran 'compact and repair'. and all of a sudden
two pcs on the network lost access to the mdb. The
program host pc works fine. Not only that, but I am able
to access word docs on the 'host machine', but I am unable
to open the database. I get an error message that access
is denied. Re-establishing the shortcut does no good.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

(I don't use peer-to-peer network but...)

When the other 2 PCs accessing (read/write data) the database on the host,
they will need Read/Write on the database *as well as*
Read/Write/Create/Delete permision on the folder. The reason is that, these
2 PCs need to be able to create/read/write/delete the .LDB (locking file)
which is need for page/record-locking.

Suggest you check the permission on the folder the database is in.
