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.
