sorry to interrupt what? :) what version of access? does this new samba you upgraded to handle logins and security differently? are they opening the database in access or using ODBC, whatnot to get at it from excel, wurd, pp, etc?
i noticed in access 97 you can change user and group permissions. you might also want to open the database in access and check under "tools > security" and see if anything there helps. it sounds like SQL locking, but i don't know if access is sophisticated enough for that. but i do believe the problem is in access and not samba (or the samba upgrade exposed some stupidity in access...) <opinion> my experience with access is simple : you replace it with a proper database or an excel flat file. both are faster... (well, excel is most likely slower when the file goes anything over 4 mbs. oh well.) </opinion> > -----Original Message----- > From: Bob Crandell [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Wednesday, November 28, 2001 10:21 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: [EUG-LUG:288] Samba > > > Hi, > I'm sorry to interrupt, but I have a client that is using > Samba 2.2.?.
