I am trying to sort out User Ids and permissions on our server. When I create a Domain User and try to access our .mde Database I get the message that the Database is open exclusively and can't be openned. If I make the user a domain admin it works. I don't want all of my users to be domain admins so is there a way around this? I tried giving domain users full control and permissions to the folder where the mde and mdw files reside, no luck.
