MDW Problem

I have the strangest problem with an Access database that is secured.

We have three user groups defined with specific rights to which we add individual users. In one specific case a single user needs access to a form that no one else in his group needs.

To accomplish this I simply gave him rights to the form,table and query he needed.

Once this was done he somehow gained access to the whole database in read-only mode. I have gone in and removed his rights to all other forms and queries and he still is allowed to open the forms in read-only with the Access warning that "this recordset is not updatetable". HE SHOULD NOT BE ABLE TO OPEN THE FORM AT ALL!

I have used the same senerio in other databases with success but am at a loss as to what the problem might be.

Any suggestions??

Thanks in advance
 
Did you uncheck all other objects? The default for the database might have been to give all new users all rights. Also, make sure he is opening the file by using the .mdw you specified, and not double-clicking on the .mdb filename in the folder in Windows Explorer. Newposter
