Vista Ultimate read-only Access file on SBS 2003 R2
I have a problem with one computer not being able to update a MS Access 2003database file located on a shared drive on the server. We just installed a SBS 2003 R2 server which used to bea peer to peer network. When the file was located on a machine running XP Pro it was accessed and updated by all others with no problems. Moved the file to the server and now I can only get one computer to have read/write permissions. If I login as an user on one computer it will let me update, but if I go to another computer and login using the same user id it makes it a read only file wanting me to create a copy to update it. I have changed the permissions to the file and folder to full control for all users but still get the same message "read-only". I am trying to use Access 2007 on the computer giving the error but the one that lets me update it is also running 2007 version. Both theses computers are running Vista Ultimate and Access 2007 but only one is be able to update. I've also tried opening it up on one computer at a time but still get the error on only the one computer. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
