MS Access 2K, Windows XP
====================
Hi,

I have a database split into FE and BE with User Level Security, and the FE
is converted into an MDE. Each user has a copy of MDE and I'm also using Tony
Toews's Auto_FE updater program.

I have follwoing folders on the shared drive:
1. BE (for Back end database file)
2. Master-FE (for master copy of FE file)
3. MDE (for MDE file that is copied to the C: drive if it is newer than the
copy on C: drive)
4. AutoFE_Updater (for StartMDB.exe and all INI files - I have more than one
INI file as different users have MSAccess.exe in different folders)
5. Wrkgrp (for the security MDW file)

The users also have a copy of the MDE on their desktops, and are accessing
the database using a short-cut that checks for the latest version of MDE, and
uses the MDW file.

I'm aware that the users need to have read-write permissions on the folder
that has the BE file. And, they probably need to have read-execute
permissions on AutoFE_Updater folder since the INI file is read, and they are
executing the exe file.

Do they need to have write access to the Wrkgrp folder and AutoFE_Updater
folder? What would be sufficient permissions for the MDE folder?

Thanks.
