I created a small database in a folder that had restricted
access (only certain log-ins could get to the folder). I
have since moved the database in its entirety to another
folder that allows open access. The users that had access
to the original secure folder still have access, but the
new users that have have been given access still cannot
get in to the database (they can get to the secured
folder, just not the file). I don't typically deal with
Access security. Does some "memory" of where that database
was created and its security follow it to another location?

Click to expand...

Yes, but it's not Access security it is network security. Try compacting
the file. Since this actually creates a new file during the compaction
process it will usually inherit the permissions of the folder. Otherwise
you need someone with admin authority on the folder to manually change the
permissions on the file.
