Dale,

Active Directory is like a 'network-wide' directory of your users and security groups, like the user/groups that you find in the Computer Management module of a local PC.

You can check out the access rights of your users/groups by looking at the Sharing and Security option of a certain folder when you right click on it. Must just be a mix-up.

Hope to help.

Dennis

>>Obviously, the access rights were changed. Maybe, a different set of access rights are assigned to the free and database tables (and its DBC).
