¤ Hey everyone,

¤ I have an access database that has the file permissions set to only
¤ allow certain users to access it. How do I make my vb.net application
¤ use this database without altering the file security settings?

If you're using file based security then you will probably need to trap the error that occurs when a
user who does not have access attempts to open it.

Otherwise there is nothing else that you need to do.
