The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Allow Database to access a shared folder, but not the users

Asked by jjafferr in Microsoft Access Database, MS SQL Server, Network Management

Hi guys

We have a domain server,
15 users,
Access mde as FE, with SQL server as BE on a shared folder1,
shared folder2 contains files.

The users have full access to the SQL server BE folder, with full control for read/write/modify,
so no issues with the Database.

On shared folder2, we have files/documents.

The FE will read the files the use want to save in folder2, and it should be able to save them there,
and through FE, it can display the files on folder2 for the user, and on click, it will open it, delete it, based on the user privilege set in the DB.

I can code the above.

my question is, since folder2 will be shared on the network,
how can I make the DB access it, and not allow the users to access it.

in another words, how can I make the DB act like a user with full privilege to folder2, and how can I set the authentication username and password to the server via code.

TIA

jaffer
