Hi, I'm going to place the back end Access data file in a shared folder for
common use. Which mininum permissions should I grant users for reading,
editing, deleteing and creating records in that file but without allow
somebody to delete that file from the shared folder.

It would be also welcome if nobody could copy that file.


Thanks in advance,
AK
 
They users need modify permissions on the folder, so that they can create
the associated ldb file. Without the create permission the backend will get
opened exclusively. They do not need delete permission on the folder.

Given these permissions you can't stop them from copying the file.

Consider hiding the share where the backend is located \\server\share$
rather than \\server\share
