Moderate: Requires basic macro, coding, and interoperability skills.



SYMPTOMS
Microsoft Access ignores Paradox private directory restrictions and allows you to examine and modify data in tables in them. Paradox, however, ignores any changes made by Microsoft Access because it assumes the directories to be private.



RESOLUTION
If the directory or directories in question are set as working directories, they work correctly.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Access versions 1.0, 1.1, 2.0, 7.0, and 97.



MORE INFORMATION
Paradox version 3.5 allows you to specify directories as &quot;private directories&quot; (Paradox Menu: Tools/Net/SetPrivate). Private directories are used to hold Answer tables and the results of queries, as well as other types of data, and cannot be examined or changed by other users. If another Paradox user attempts to do so, he or she receives the error message, &quot;This is a private directory, you are not allowed access.&quot;
