I have a program that runs on a Windows 95 PC. It has a database that is used by 3 other PCs. One can add users to this database. The database is in a shared folder. I am trying to add a user to the shared folder so that he can access the database but, I keep getting an error msg that reads "You can't access the users list at this time. Try again later" I disconnected the network cable and rebooted the PC so that no one could open the database thinking that was the problem. Still gives me the msg. In network neighborhood, under Access Control, User level Access control is bulleted and the Domain name has been put in.

Help!!

Thanks,
Gary Turner

I'm not surprised that you couldn't add users when the network cable was disconnected, the list of valid users is stored on the domain controller.

Are you logged in as a user with READ/WRITE access rights?
If you are, try removing the share and recreating it with all allowed users defined.
