Security primer for XP pro/home
Can anyone point me to a good overview of security settngs available in XP?
My particular problem is this: We have a work station in our office that runs XP Pro. The rest of our workstations run XP Home. I want to share an Access MDB that lives in a subfolder in the Program Files folder on the XP Pro machine. I want set permissions for this DB so that only 1 user id has remote access to it. When I try to share the file it seems as though I can only share the entire folder, not just the individual file, and it looks as though I can only share the file with the entire network. Any help would be greatly appriciated. Best Jim |

James,
Two things that might help. When you set sharing option in XP set the permissions, remove everyone and add the individual that should have access to the folder. You can also set up security in Access. Any good book on Access development will describe how to make a mdb file secure. I have done it in the past, I just don't remember the steps.

You can not share files - only folders but you can control who has access to
the share for network access. You probably will need to disable simple file sharing first by going to Windows Explorer/tools/folder options/view and uncheck the last option for use simple file sharing. The links below explain how to configure access lists in more details and how share and folder/ntfs permissions work together to restrict access from network users. --- Steve http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;308418 http://www.mcmcse.com/microsoft/guid...missions.shtml "James Houston" wrote in message ...
