Permissions problem (I think)

O.k. Here's the background on my situation. We've got an Access program
running against a SQL 2000 DB. The program was created using Access 2003.
The user that runs this program had Access 2000 on their PC, which was
upgraded to Access 2003. One of the first steps the program does is copy
data from 2 external files into 2 seperate tables(1 table for each file).
This is done with the TransferText command. When the user runs the program,
a new table with the same name as the original is created with the user id
shown as the owner. The data is then copied into this new table instead of
the one already in the DB. Thus, when the program tries to read the origina
l
table it fails b/c it is empty. This happens ONLY for this user. If anyone
else logs in on the users PC, the program works fine. I've tried changing
every permissions option available, including giving the user FULL rights an
d
even making them an enterprise admin. Nothing seems to work. All security
is the same as it was before we upgraded the user to Access 2003, and it was
all working before. Any ideas'If the following is the issue and only happens for that
user:
"When the user runs the program, a new table with the same
name as the original is created with the user id shown as
the owner"
then it sounds like the user is in different database roles
than the other user. You didn't say what authentication
method is used or how the access program is connecting, if
it's a project or an mdb, etc. You may want to try running
profiler, capture the Login, user info and compare it when
others run the same routine. Then look at the differences in
database role, server role membership.
