PANIC!! Could not read definitions
All Right this topic has been covered in two posts unsecuring a secured database and Error Message: Could not read Definitions , however neither of these post have helped me cure my problem.
I open my db and log in. When I try to open any thing other than create new I get this message: Could not read definitions; no read definitions for the table or query.
So here is what I have tried. I go into Tools, Security, User-Level Security Wizard. Modify my current workgroup info file. I choose select all at each tab, i.e. Tables, Queries, etc. and add this user to all groups. I check yes, I would like to grant some permissions to the User. I check Administer at each tab. I assign a new user name and password. Now I choose the users name I just created and assign the user to admins group and then click finish. I exit the program and the reopen the database and try to open a table or query and get the same message: Could not read definitions; no read definitions for the table or query. So I go into Tool, Security, User and Groups Permissions and no of the permissions that I assigned are checked so I check Administer and then apply and I get You Can't Change Permissions for this "Object'. To Change Permissions for this object you must have Administer permissions for it. I go to Tools, Security, User and Group Accounts, choose the user that I just created and it shows that he is a member of Admins and Users.
Now if I remember right when I created this user I gave him administer rights, but yet he cannot open a single thing.
I am at a loss as to what to do and I need the info that is in this db.
