Hello, I am stumped.

I created a database on my stand alone computer. It was
later uploaded/saved to the server. Now if anyone but
myself opens the database it says it is read only. I have
changed the permissions in the properties option of the
file (right click on file and change permissions). What
can I do to change this? Or am I just up a creek????

Thanks to any takers.

Since the user needs to be abe to create the "Lock file" with .LDB extension
in the same directory and to delete this file when he/she is the last one to
exit the database, the user will need not only Read / Write on the database
(.MDB or .MDE) but also Create / Read / Write / Delete on the directory in
which the database resides.
