Compacting Resets File Security Settings

[Danial E. Shappell]

We are having a weird problem involving Windows 2000 and Access 2000 SP-3.
When we compact the database it makes a new database as part of the
compacting, then deletes the old one and renames the compacted database.

The problem is that the new file does not have the same security settings as
the old file. I have checked the parent folder settings and everything is
set properly. It is set to place its attributes on any new files in the
folder via the Security tab Advanced settings.

Any help or ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks,
DAN
