Hi -
I have a multiuser database (Access 2000) with some custom security checks
built into the coding, as the Access permissions were a bit too generalized
for our needs. A single copy of the database exists on a shared drive. We
relied on our Network security to ensure only the appropriate users could get
into the db to begin with.
Now, the client wishes to place the application on a more open shared drive,
and have individual passwords for each user. I'm a bit out of my depth, not
much experience as an Access DB Administrator. My first attempt has been a
failure:
Basically, I went into Tools/Security/User and Group Accounts, and added new
User accounts for each individual, and set up an initial password for them,
as well as changing the password on the Admin account. The logons work as
expected from my workstation.
The problem is that the logons do not come up from any of the other
workstations. Why is this? Is there a best way to get the application to
prompt for passwords for the new users I have created?
Many thanks,
Phil Freihofner
