Design Master security

[sturner333]

Haven't been able to find an answer to thhis in the literature. If I
replicate a database, can anyone else modify the design master? So far I
haven't been able to figure out how to asign permission for this. Anyone else
opening the design master sees it as a replica.
Thanks for the help!

Being a master doesn't really matter; you can assign permissions just like a
regular mdb.

It sounds to me as though others are not opening the master, but a replica
instead.

Is the database secured or not?

Doesn't the current user need to see it as a master to make changes?

The other laptop is opening the master. They see it as a replica though.
They are able to change it to a master via tools (recover design master)

Is the database secured or not?

It is not secured.

Thanks Joan

If it isn't secured, then permissions are not a factor.

You say they are on a laptop; how are they opening the master?

Is the master on the network? Do they have full permissions on the folder
where the master is located?

Have they used briefcase in some way to open the master?
