I have an db file that I created way back when in Access 97. It's a simple file
(it's just a list of my compact disks; overkill, I know, but it was easier to
generate a formatted report with Access than Excel). I recently upgraded to
Access 2003, converted the file, and everything was fine, until a week or two ago.
Now, when I open the file, and try to open anything, tables or reports, I get
the following message: "Could not read definitions; no read definitions
permission for table or query 'xx'" (where xx is the name of the table, for
example). When I set up Access 2003, the only user I set up was "admin". When I
check the users and groups, there are only two groups (Admins and Users) and
admin is the only user and is a member of both groups. When I check admin's
permissions, it has none; all of the check boxes are blank, including
Administer. I can't give myself (admin) any permissions, because I don't have
permission to do so. Catch 22, eh.
So, now what? How can I get access to my file? What happened to cause this? Is
it something a recent hot fix did? File corruption (doesn't seem likely, since
the file opens without complaint, and all of the tables, reports, etc. are
listed correctly)?
Help!
