I have a small database that sits on a network drive at work which is
accessed by 4 other people at different terminals. I tried to created a
password using the access help (open database exclusively, created password,
magic), but now when I try to access the database from any other terminal,
after entering the password I get an invalid password error, but I can open
it still from my terminal where I created the password. So I'm obviously not
doing it right. I just need a simple way to put a password on the database.
Just one password for the 5 of us to use to access the database but keep
everybody else out.
Thank you.
 
Maybe you can try creating a new account, which is for public use, and
authorize this new account to the shared database, so in that way each
members can access that database via the account.
