Here is my problem and I hope someone can help me out. I am trying to open or
retrieve data from a file that is only accessable from a different user.

Example: If you are logged in under user and need to access a file that is
only available under admin. The files are unavailable under user because they
do not need to be tampered with. These files cannot be made public.

Is there a way to do this?
 
Doesn't that sound like it would defeat the purpose of having the file
placed where you can't/shouldn't be able to get to it?
 
I am using a business computer. What I want is for the "normal" user to be
able to run an excel program that pulls information from the server/admin
part of the computer. the "normal" user has no reason to have access to the
data base file other than to pull the information into a excell spread sheet.
I could go into much more detail, but the bottom line is that I need to be
able to do it this way. I know both user logins and passwords. I could easily
login under admin and run the spread sheet, but my other employees would not
be able to. Hope this cleared things up, or at least confused you more. :)
 
If you don't allow access to the database, then it will be denied to the
user, you should consider read access if the user needs access.
