MS Access Forum / Multiuser / Networking / June 2006Can't access shared database when open by another user
I installed IE7 Beta 2, found it too buggy for my system and uninstalled it promptly. Maybe it is a coincidence, but since then I cannot open a database in a shared folder on another computer in my workgroup if someone else has it open. If the other users exit, I can open it. I can also open another database in the same folder. I just can't open one that anyone else is in. Strangely, there is no error message. I click on the file, the hourglass appears for a fraction of a second...then nothing. I reiterate that I have been using the same setup for a couple of years with no problem. I believe it must have to do either with the IE7 installation or some recent security update. I am also now getting security warnings when opening databases in the shared folder, which never used to happen. I was having a similar problem, saw another post that said to make sure that both you and the other users using the database have FULL security permissions. Found out some of us didn't have all the permissions and changed their permisison to full, this fixed the problem for us. It sounds like the IE install might have changed some of your security settings? > I installed IE7 Beta 2, found it too buggy for my system and uninstalled it > promptly.

That doesn't seem to be the problem, but I found a strange workaround: If I open Access, choose "Open" from the File menu, and navigate to the database through the mapped network drive, I can opem it with no problem. Go figure.... > I was having a similar problem, saw another post that said to make sure that > both you and the other users using the database have FULL security [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > > some recent security update.
