Permissions - how to get into a database that has them set kimc 28.09.2006 17:04:02 A client gave me a Access 97 db that is very, very old. It hasn't been used in 10 years. The reason why is they can't open the file. It gives a message when you double click the file that reads "You do not have the necessary permissions to open the TEST.MSB object. Have your system administrator or the person who created this object establish the appropriate permissions for you." So, how can I get into the file? Thanks! KimC
