Simple Solution Needed Please

[Pierre Rousseau]

Hi the specialists.

I do not want security on any of the files in my computer.

I'm placing this in "general" because I'd like a direct and practical answer, please. And if there is none, please say so. Computers are immensely complicated and I am just a little bit tired of people superciliously refering the uninitiated to "Microsoft's FAQ's" That source is to most normal humans as obscure as the software programming itself.

I have also searched this source and Google for hours, without getting an intelligible answer.

This is my problem:

I am the only user and administrator on my computer.
I have a back-end file which is easily accessed through the front-end.
.... but
I cannot open the back-end to access the tables directly.
I get the following error message:

You do not have the necessary permissions to use the 'C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\AccessThings\WORKLOG_be.mdb' object. Have your system administrator or the person who created this object establish the appropriate permissions for you.

Of course the person who created this back-end is me, but I have no clue what I did, because it is at least two years since I created it.

Could someone please help?
I have tried to use the "shift", click method. It does nothing - just gives me the same message.

Pierre.

Make sure you have all the policies for Windows in general set properly. Go to Start, then Run, then type gpedit.msc. From there, look at the administrative rights and such and you'll probably find that you've somehow inadvertently disabled a few things.

Just to add to Moniker's advice, this is a Windows message, not an Access message.

Alternate Possibility

1) Are you logged in to the "Front End' when you try to get into the "Back_End", if so log out of the front end first, this "may" make the back_end accessible.

2) If you are the only person using the database then why even use a split database. It will make little to no difference in the case that you are not sharing the back_end with other users.

If the databse is all together then you'll have administrative access to all objects in that database if you are the creator/exclusive user of the database.

solution

the solution is very very easy the db is made on a other pc and when it was made only that pc had admn rights. so al you have to do is make a nother copy with different name and then you pc will thik it's a new file and sets your name as aditor and you will automatically have l rights needed.
