MS Access 2003 multi-users application : Any other

Question

Some users will use the database as read-only and some will need to add, delete and update records.

Now, users that will be read-only on the database also have the read-only rights as windows permissions on the backend directory. What happens obviously is that the backend becomes read-only.
I thought using the access security thingy would counter that but it seems not.

So my question is, is it something I am doing wrong or is there really no other way ?

Thanks for any input.

Edit : Just for clarification, what I mean is when a read only users use the database, the users that should be able to add, delete or update database can't.

Answer 1

Access user level security is not going to change the permissions on the folder. ULS can control what your users can do.

I understood your question, it implies that ULS could somehow modify the permissions that you have set too stringently. You must set the folder permissions so that all users have add & edit permissions.
