Compile Access database on home network

T

truedemo

I have 3 computers on my home network and each time I compile the DB, only
the computer that it resides on can see the DB. After I restore a bockup
version, all computers can the the DB again. What am I doing wrong

Did you mean "compact"? Compacting actually creates a new file and that
file will inherit the security settings of the folder where you create it
which could cause other users on the LAN to lose permissions to it. I don't
know what you mean by the other users can't "See" the file, but security
settings could easily cause them to not be able to open it.

If you actually do mean "compile" then I don't know as that should not
affect the file in such a manner.
