All users of an Access database require Modify permissions for the folder
containing the database in order to allow multi-user activity to be allowed.
This means that if your site is using Anonymous access, then the IUSR and
IWAM accounts must b e granted Modify permissions for that folder. If using
Integrated security, then the actual users need those permissions.

When the asp pages & database were on the old box they never got any
error messages except when I, the developer, opened the database thru
file explorer. Now it's on a different box and they too get the
error message saying it's in use by another user. And the guy
updating the database thru asp can't accomplish the updating. Which
makes sense to me. Would any of this be affected by permissions if
the database was on a different share than the web was?

news:43**********************************@microsof t.com... I have an access database that used to be on 1 box and now is on
another. There's asp pages calling it. The gals that use it said
they used to be able
to get into the access database at anytime and modify it without
the asp pages locking up. Does anyone know how this could occur?
