Hi -- Are there some special problems with Access 2000 database files that I don't know about? We were accessing earlier versions of Access files from a Linux-based Samba server using Windows-based workstations and earlier versions of Access files and it worked fine. With Access 2000 files, I'm not getting access (no pun intended). I'm sorry that I don't have additional information. This came up at the end of the day yesterday and I won't be in a position to do further testing for another week. I just wanted to know if, generally, there was something special about the handling of Access 2000 files that I should know about. Thanks for any input. ... doug _____________________________________________________________________ Doug Jolley mailto://doug@footech.com http://www.footech.com Don't bogart that file, my friend.
