I have a customer that is trying to export Access data to
an in-house VB app.  Here's the scenario.

The data is collected/input on a PC (2K, non-networked) in
Access.  The user is logged in under a special account set
up as Admin to the PC.  No Access security is set on the
database.

The Access file is then transferred via flash media to an
office PC (XP, networked).  The user then logs in as
him/her self.  They are not admins of the office PC's.

Through the VB app, they attempt to import the data and
get an error to the effect "cannot build database file".
According to the developer, they traced it to the fact the
user does not have write permissions to update a T/F field
in the database.

If they login to the destination PC as local admin or give
the user local admin rights, everything works fine.  The
problem also does not exist on *gulp* Win98 PC's.

Ideas?

A user must have full permissions to the folder the database is stored in.

Thanks, it appears the users were not storing the files
under their local profiles, but just randomly in
subdirectories on the PC's.
