mdb in limited access folder

[CoachPhil]

I have created a mdb in a restricted access folder. I then copied and pasted it into a general access folder.
The path still points to the limited access folder and is not accessible to most.
How can I make this mdb accessible to all?

Create a new, empty database on the "accessible" folder.
Import everything from current database to new database.
Rename the Old database (something like LIMITED_.......mdb)
Rename the new database to the name you have given to others.

(not tested, but generally how I would approach this)

If this database is to be accessible to all then all need to have read/write/delete permissions on the folder where the database resides. If you put it where people do not have those permissions then they will not be able to use the database - period.
