Users Cannot Access Back-End Data...?

[Mr. Joshua]

I've created a database, split it into front & back ends, and put copies of
my front end on other user's machines. These users have been given full,
read/write access to the necessary network folders on the server.

Unfortunately, no other users (besides myself) can access the data stored on
the back end. The database opens with the status message at the bottom of
the screen "Recordset is not updatable". Trying to open the back end
database (tables) gives the message "Database is read-only".

I've gone through the steps of securing the database with the security
wizard, and made sure that all users are setup to use the appropriate
workgroup file. However, the problem still persists.

Anyone have suggestions?

Thanks.

Do all users have the ability to create and delete files in the folder
containing the backend?

 

[Mr. Joshua]

As far as I know, yes. At least that's what I asked the server administrator
to do. I realize that mixed control rights to the folder will cause lock
outs, but wouldn't full read/write users still have access to the data if
they were the only user logged in?

Thanks,
Joshua
