Not sure what went wrong, but im not a fan of using the IRF(inherited rights filter). I would just make her a trustee of the file or folder its in and restrict her specificly to read only. That to me is simpler then trying to keep track of IRFs. If you restict the folder and she needs higher rights further down just add her as trustee to the neccessary folder and reapply the correct rights. In my opinion its easier to track the trustee assignments then IRF.

Keep in mind that Trusstee basicly implies that you just are giving the user specific rights(restrictive or supervisory) not that they have more rights to something.

You might consider setting up access's own security as well as file rights. Access has a nasty habit of doing things its not supposed to according to the file system.

Thanks for both responses. I was trying to avoid the MS Access security settings, but I'll try both.

You didn't say exactly what kind of error they received. but, as previous posts submitted Access is not a good network database, and limited rights is even wore. See:

I don't believe you can use NetWare's security to set read-only access to the database. Well, you can, except that once you successfully set the read-only part, the database probably won't work properly. IIRC, MSAccess *must* be able to create/modify the database's *.ldb file in order to work.
