Urgent! Read-Only error

[Guest]

I split a database I was working on into FE(forms) and BE(tables) format then
placed the BE on a folder out on our network that the user group has access
to and sent them a copy of the FE, but they are seeing blank forms if the
form is intended for data entry. It must still be some permissoin problem but
how do I check that. I am not the network admin. Please help. Thanks.

The user needs to be able to create, edit and delete files in the
directory where the back end is located. See if they can create a Word
document there, edit it and delete it.

Also make sure their path statements are correct.

Typically, a blank form (no controls at all) indicates that there are no
records in the data source AND that the user can't add a new record.

Make sure the form's record source is updateable and that the form is indeed
set up to allow additions.
