Linked DB Question

[Dave Elliott]

Does the folder where the tables are have to be shared?
Also does the folder have to allow network users to change my files?

 

[Niklas Östergren]

Every user that´s editing/adding datat into you tables need to have access
to them. Therefore it´s neccesary fot you to share the folder if tha db is
on a network!

At least that´s my experience!

Dave,

Each person who needs to use your database must have Full Network
Permissions (Read, Write, Modify, Create, Delete) to the folder where your
database resides. This is so the first user to open the database can
create the Access LDB (or locking) file associated with the database, the
subsequent users can modify the LDB when they open the database (and close
it), and so that the last user can delete the LDB file when he or she closes
the database.

 

[Dave Elliott]

Since the folders where the db resides are not in the same folder, (one for
the front end & one for the back end) and the other users have a modified
front end, then do they also have to have read,write,create,delete access to
the back end where the tables are?

 

[Cheryl Fischer]

Yes, they do.
