Sharing on a restricted network

I have a database stored on a server with restricted access. The folder that
contains the DB is read only for the users that need access. The users only
require read only access. Every time they try to open the DB a message
appears saying something about a lock file and the DB fails to open. I have
read through the other postings but can't seem to find the answer. Any
suggestions would be very welcome
 
you just stated the problem. Access (most versions...) does need to have
read & modify rights to the .ldb file minimum (in the same directory) in
order to share a database. If this is a back-end database read only can
apply to the db itself. Setting the correct permissions is not easy though
(what happened to Novell ...). It is much *easier* to implement user level
security to restrict what users are permitted to do.
