OK<br>
I suppose you are getting a error message.<br>
Paste it in here.<br>
the exact words not &quot;something like Uh you know&quot;<br>
<br>
Access somethimes gets confused in a Server environment<br>
It gets corrupted very easily and masquerades as Security issues. <p> DougP<br><a href=mailto: dposton@universal1.com> dposton@universal1.com</a><br><a href= > </a><br>

If you want security turned off completely and you can get into it yourself, just create a new database in the same folder, and import everything from the old one. Say the old one is named OldOne, rename it &quot;xOldOne&quot;, which then allows you to rename the new one &quot;OldOne&quot;. You have the old one as backup, and the new one is right where everyone expects it, named as everyone expects it.<br>

p.s. Hope you back up nightly!
