Okay, here's the set up. I'm running an NT4.0 Server with NT and 95 clients (although only the 95 clients are currently accessing the database). Their access to the database is through a shortcut to a shared file on the server from their desktops rather than through a mapped drive (only for the experimenting [i.e. testing] phase. When the database entry form is accessed by one user any other user trying to access the form gets the following error message: "Error loading file... record number 64 Formset 1 .Parent: File access is denied."
