Compacting and Security
I have compacted an mdb which had user and group permissions associated with it. After compacting however, I was locked out of the original databse and the compacted copy. The message was "You do not have the necessary permissions to use the ...FileX...object. Have your system administrator or the person who created this object establish the appropriate permissions for you.

Have your system administrator or the person who created this object establish the appropriate permissions for you. The compacting process did not reset the permissions. You are not using the correct workgroup file to open the mdb. You likely are joined by default to the standard system.mdw, while your secure database needs to use the workgroup file you secured it with in order to authenticate the users. Try creating a desktop shortcut to launch the secure mdb. The target would look like: "path to msaccess.exe" "path to mdb" /wrkgrp "path to secure.mdw" -- Joan Wild Microsoft Access MVP |
