Reading from Access Database with ReadOnly rights to folder

[Jerry Kogan]

Is there anyway to open someone else's Access database,
when the current user is granted only Read Only rights to
the folder where the database resides. I just want to
read information from the other database, but apparently
Access needs to write to the record locking file in order
to allow me to look at anything.

You need write permissions just to open the database. The ability to write
or not write data to the database should be governed through internal
user-level security not NT based security permissions. NT Permissions are in
addition to User-level security.
