VBA Code crashes in "Limited Account" but runs in "Administrator"

My program stalls when I run it in Win XP Pro - "Limited Account" mode; but
runs fine when I am in "Administrator" mode. (Same results when I use the
runtime version or the full Access version.)

It catches on the following line:

rst_MasterCoil.Open "tbl_MasterCoil", Cnxn, adOpenForwardOnly,
adLockOptimistic

What is wrong? How can I fix it?
 
Hi, Maddox.
My program stalls when I run it in Win XP Pro - "Limited Account" mode; but

Click to expand...

Does the user logged in with the "Limited Account" have "Full Control"
Windows security permissions on the directory where the database file holding
the tbl_MasterCoil table is located? The user will have a hard time without
these permissions.

This user may need Windows security permissions in other directories as
well, but those directories are required for each MS Office user to have
Windows security permissions for. So unless your Windows system
administrator is overzealous, that shouldn't be the problem.

HTH.

I understand your point, but that does not appear to be the problem.

When I use the "new" code, I only get an error when I am logged on as a
"Limited Account"; but I can switch to "administrator" on the same machine
and the program runs fine. Also, the original program has been running for
several months in "Limited Account" mode and has no problem reading and
writing to the mapped network drives. We are using the standard, Simple File
Sharing, and I believe that it is setup for "Level 5" because everyone is
reading and writing to the database.

When I run the modified program in runtime I receive the error "Cannot open
the file" and when I run it in full Access, the debugger goes to the line:

rst_MasterCoil.Open "tbl_MasterCoil", Cnxn, adOpenForwardOnly,
adLockOptimistic

I switched the adOpenForwardOnly to adOpenDynamic and now it works on my
laptop in "Limited Account" but still does not work at the workstation in
"Limited Account". (My laptop has full Access and the workstation only has
the runtime version)

Basically, I am trying to add new data through a user interface and append
it to the database. I thought that I could use "DoCmd.TransferDatabase
acLink,", "AddNew", and "Update". I will try switching to an append query,
but that does not seem like a direct path from the user interface screen to
the database.

Thanks Again,
 
Problem solved - I appreciate your time and effort.

Not sure of the root cause, but I eliminated the DoCmd.Transferdatabase and
I just linked the table directly.
