[RESOLVED] Microsoft Jet Database Engine cannot open the file

[Papiens]

I have my solution in the ipub root directory. The solution is a text book example so I know there is no code problems. I have the read-only attribute off of the mdb file in my Share directory. I have read several posts looking for an answer to my problem. I believe it is in setting permissions. I have XP and cannot find Security tabs as described in prior posts. Where do I go from here?

I have XP and cannot find Security tabs as described in prior posts.

In XP Pro (not sure about Home) simple security is on by default. To turn it off and gain access to the Security tabs

Windows Explorer -> Tools -> Folder Options -> View Tab, uncheck the last option "Use Simle File Sharing"

Your response to my post worked excellent. After I unchecked simple file sharing, the security tab showed up on my .mdb file. My user id had allowed full control, but not all permissions were allowed for the Users so I changed that and this resolved my problem
