Question You do not have the necessary permissions to use the <filename>.mdb

[gdieffen]

All,
new here...so be gentle! I'm actually an Oracle DBA and have been asked to fill in for support of an Access 2010 database. As far as i know, all was fine thru last Thursday. We have a database used by 1 department and the DB is stored ona netwrok shared drive. Over the weekend, our network folks moved the database files to a new shared drive. Now no one can get in, keep getting the following: "You do not have the necessary permissions to use the <path_to_.mdb> object. Have your system administrator or the person who created this object establish the appropriate permissions for you."

I also get this message, even tho I am an admin on the shared drive. Network guys say permissions are open, but i dont know how to verify. They keep saying its th edatabase that is blocking - but i dont see how since I cant even open it! ANy guidance is greatly appreciated!:banghead:

are other file operations allowed?
can you, say, copy and paste it elsewhere and open it from there?

I had an issue recently where the folder permissions were OK but the file hadn't inherited the folder permissions. Once the file was set too, we had no problem.

Glad you found a solution
