Hi, created a mdb with access 2003 and put it on a networked pc and setup an
odbc connection for it. It works fine for me from any other pc (using a
shortcut to a form within the databse.) However any other user gets a read
only message upon launching the form?. Have looked through the security
wizard etc. I Just want everyone to be able to edit my mdb. Dont want any
security at all . I dont mind re-creating the database to achieve this as its
in its infancy and has very few records. Can i switch off security -user
level security, switch of all secuity somehow?

Thanks in advance

Mostl likely they do not have adequate permissions to the folder on the network.
They need to be able to create, edit, and delete files in order for the
multi-user locking file (LDB) to be properly managed.
