Sharing & Read Only PAR 12/27/2008 4:38:00 AM How can I get a database to open - not in read only? I have 2 machines running Access 2007, but one that has 2000. I need to have the database be a 2000 so all machines can run it. Since I purchased the new machine running vista, it will not let me keep the database as 2000 and allow non read only. I set permissions to let everyone do everything. Having a terrible time with sharing. I only have the three machines so the only security problem is if the crudimentary network is hacked. I need all three machines to be able to do any kind of editing. ASAP. Need access before Sunday. Thanks.

If it is a vista workstation make sure you store it in the public documents area and povide full rights to the other users on the share.
