updating .mdb files from .net databases

[Guest]

We have a problem with updating a .mdb file containing our data from our .net
application.
If we sign onto the computer as a user with admin authority, we can update
the records.
If we sign onto the computer as a user without admin authority, the .mdb
file is read-only and we can't update it.
We have checked that the .mdb is in a directory that everyone can update (we
can write data to it).
In both cases, there is no Access user set up over and above the normal
Admin Access user - in both cases, this is the Access user in use.

Any ideas anyone?

It is probably not a problem with the .mdb file, rather, it is the .NET
app that causes the problem. Whoever developed the .NET app, ask him why. If
you have/own the .NET app and its code, you may ask question in one of the
..NET ng, and show some code in question there

No it is the .mdb file

Any local admin user can update the .mdb from the .net appl absolutely fine.

Anyone who is not the local admin user (or the creator of the database)
finds that the database is read only, and therefore cannot update it either
frmo the .net appl or natively.
All users can update all other entities in the folder that the .mdb is in -
it is a shared folder available to everyone.

This is a mystery!
