Problem runing a database on multiple computers?

[Expayne]

Hi,

Right now I have my Access 2000 Database runing on a drive that is networked
to my pc and I'd would say about 12 others. So today someone tells me the
database won't open on his and some kind of error pops up which at this time
I don't remember but on my computer it runs fine. In stead of this error
poping up a prompt for login & password should pop up. The other difference
is my computer is on a Window XP Professional operating system and his is
running on Windows 95. I mean how can it only work on my pc but not his?
Were both going to the same database file. The database should be working on
his pc too right?

Thank for time,
Ben

For a proper network setup, and especially when you are using a mixed
environment with VERY different operating systems (such as your case), then
you need to split your database.

Hi,

If you do not have security permissions set on teh database, it seems like
it is a security issue on the network on within that PC that has Win95. Win95
versus Win2000 has very different network file access permissions.
