MS Access Forum / Security / July 2008One workgroup file for frontend and backend not updating
Hello All: I have hit a snag. I have a Database with a FrontEnd, BackEnd and a Seond Front End, called Master that I do changes on. I used to be able to into the Master FrontEnd and make permission changes to groups, then Log Into the Regular Front End and see the permission changes I did. Now when I log into the Regular Front End and the changes are not there. I seem to have to completely overwrite the file with a new copy to see any changes. I have double and triple checked my shortcuts and which workgroup they are pointing to. Everything is the same. Any ideas from anybody on what could have changed. Thanks much Heidi : I have a Database with a FrontEnd, BackEnd and a Seond Front End, : called Master that I do changes on. : : I used to be able to into the Master FrontEnd and make permission : changes to groups, then Log Into the Regular Front End and see the : permission changes I did. No you didn't. The permissions are stored in the mdb file. You might have added a user, or changed the groups a user was a member of (that is stored in the mdw), and seen the change, but not permissions. : Now when I log into the Regular Front End and the changes are not : there. I seem to have to completely overwrite the file with a new : copy to see any changes. Yes, that's the only way.

That is what I did. I added a new user and then added them to certain groups. Those changes are not showing reflected into the other front end. > : I have a Database with a FrontEnd, BackEnd and a Seond Front End, > : called Master that I do changes on.

This is a newsgroup for helping others find answers to problems, not trashing people with unfactuated opinions, Your Quote - ("sounds to me like it's just a flaky a.s setup.")

While Microsoft has, on occasion, deleted his posts from their server, the fact that the newsgroups are replicated on thousands of other servers makes it impossible to delete his posts from every server that carries these newsgroups.
