linking to a secured database

[Rick B]

I have a few databases which need to link to a few tables within a secured
database. I have set the permissions of the secured database to allow the
required rights however, I am unable to link the tables. Any suggestions as
to what I should do or where I can go to find this information?

Thank you in advance,

I should probably mention that these database are in Access 2002

What rights did you set? If the 'few databases' are unsecured, then you
would need to give the Users Group Open permission on the secured database,
and at least read data on the tables.

When linking from an unsecured to a secured database, you
need to either use the SAME WORKGROUP or different workgroups
with the SAME USERS OR GROUPS. This will enable you to
use owner permission queries or to use permissions granted
in the secured database.

Have you got that worked out already?
