MS Access Forum / Multiuser / Networking / December 2004New User Accounts
In Tools/Security/User and Groups Accounts When you make a new user, is that a database user or windows user? I ask because I just tried creating a ne user and I get the error message "Cannot update. Database or object is read-only." > In Tools/Security/User and Groups Accounts > When you make a new user, is that a database user or windows user? Well, if you are in Access when you follow that path, it is a database user. > I ask because I just tried creating a ne user and I get the error > message "Cannot update. Database or object is read-only." Check the properties on your database file to see if it has been set to read-only.

Then you may need to check the network permissions on the file itself and or on the folder the file is stored in.

When you mention the Read-Only properties, are you talking about the Database itself, or the Workgroup (by default, .MDW) file? If not the MDW, check it -- that is what would be updated if you create a new user. Larry Linson Microsoft Access MVP MDW? I don't know what that is. Ok, did some reading. I tried the "MS Access Workgroup Administrator" but apparently I don't have permission to create MDW files. That may be because you are not the administrator of your computer.
