ACC97: "No Read Permission on..." Error After Compacting Database

MORE INFORMATION

The SQL statement behind forms and reports creates a hidden query when you save the form or report. The WITH OWNERACCESS OPTION in the record source informs Microsoft Access to run the hidden query. When you compact the database, this query is deleted. The query will be created each time the form or report is saved.

Steps to Reproduce Problem

Create the Database

1. Start Microsoft Access. Log on as Admin.
2. Create a new database named OwnerPer.mdb.
3. Create the following new table named tblNames:

      Field Name   Data Type
      ----------   ---------
      FirstName       Text
   					

4. Open the tblNames table and enter the following data:

      Name: Nancy
      Name: Andrew
   					

5. Create a new form named frmNames and set the following form properties. (Accept the default for all other properties.)

      Form Properties
      ---------------
      RecordSource: SELECT * FROM tblNames WITH OWNERACCESS OPTION;
   					

6. Add the following control to the frmNames form and set the properties of the control as indicated. (Accept the default for all other properties.)

      Text Box
      --------
      Name: FirstName
      ControlSource: FirstName
   					

Set Permissions

1. On the Tools menu, point to Security, and then click User And Group Accounts.
2. Add a new user to the Users group named Janet.
3. On the Tools menu, point to Security, and then click User And Group Permissions.
4. Give Janet the following permissions:

         tblNames: no permissions
         frmNames: Open/Run only
   					

5. Give the Users group the following permissions:

      tblNames: no permissions
      frmNames: Open/Run only
   					

6. On the File menu, click Exit.

Reproducing Error Message

1. Start Microsoft Access. Log on as Janet.
2. Open the database OwnerPer.mdb.
3. Open the form frmNames.

      Note that you are able to scroll through and edit the records.
   					

4. On the Tools menu, point to Database Utilities, and then click Compact Database.
5. Open the form frmNames.

      Note that you receive the error message described in the "Symptoms"
      section.
