Question : Why iis access opening incorrectly......

All

I have a Db that I have moved to a drive where staff within a certain area are able to access it.  Have split the Db with backend on same drive but different folder...

Can anyone explain why the Db opens fine for me but when other users open it the file opens with the access database page (the one you get when you want to create a new Db)???

Any ideas appreciated, and I will continue to play around with it.....

Answer : Why iis access opening incorrectly......

1) Place the Backend (the one with ONLY the tables) on a shared network resource. Make CERTAIN that all users have at least Modify permissions on that folder (Full permissions is better, IMO).

2) Provide EACH workstation with a copy of the Frontend (the copy with the forms, report, etc in it).  That means you do NOT share this file - give each user a copy of it.

Each user would then run their own copy of the FE, and they would all be connected to the BE (you may need to include relinking code to provide a method for your users to relink).
