Hello

I have a database that I access off our network. Using the
user-level security wizard I created two users:
Administrator and User (fairly obvious permissions - the
user can input/delete/add data but not modify design,
Administrator can obviously administrate as part of Admins
group). Now on my computer this system worked just fine.
When I go to my co-workers computer though the settings
aren't there and I often get an errors message- leading me
to believe the settings are saved on my computer itself
even though I created the settings on a database that was
shared over a network. On my own computer I made the
default admin user able to read/input data so now my co-
worker can open the database however none of the other
users exist over there.

How can I create security settings that will work no
matter who's computer it is opened from as long as it is
opened through the shared drive?

Thanks in advance for your help

You must join the workgroup you created when running the sec wizard. Before
doing this, however, save yourself a TON of grief and frustration, and
download and read-read-read the Security FAQ from the ms web site.
 
Further to Scott's advice, you may find it useful to read the document
on the web site in my signature.
