I'm working with a Access database application that has two frontends and one backend. One front end is for read only users and the other is for users performing updates. After converting the databases from Access 2000 to 2002, if an udate user opens the database first, the read only users can't open the database. If a read only user opens the database first, the add new record control on the update form for the update users grays out and the update feature is disabled. I've checked that the database is shared and I've check the priviledges. Everything seems to be correct and the application worked fine in Access 2000. Any suggestions?
