Hello all,
This is really a computer sharing / network question, so sorry for posting here; it's the only newsgroup I post in.
I have a customer with a database file on a vista machine under Users\[user name]\, who has a 2nd pc with window xp. They're getting all kinds of access errors relating to the .mdb being read-only, etc., when they try to access the database from the xp machine.
Using remote control, I turned on sharing for that folder with full rights on the vista machine, then I connected to the xp machine. Still no luck. As a test, I opened Notepad, and tried to save a quick .txt file to that folder, and received "you do not have permission to save in this directory.."
What's the secret to sharing a folder, with full rights, on vista? Does the database have to reside in a certain folder? Or do you need to go into the security tab and somehow add the 2nd user? (the security tab is a mess in vista, btw)
Thanks!
Andy
(P.S. This used to be much easier back in the day...)
