SYMPTOMS
Advanced: Requires expert coding, interoperability, and multiuser skills.

When you try to open an object or change permissions for an account, you may receive one of the following error messages:

You can't view this object's permissions.

  -or-

No permission for.



CAUSE
Only the database creator, a member of the Admins group in the workgroup in which the database was created, or a user with administrator permission on a particular object has full permissions to database objects.

NOTE: The administrator permission does not exist in Microsoft Access 1.x.



RESOLUTION
Contact your database administrator. If you are the database administrator, check to make sure you are logged in as a user who is a member of the Admins group. If you still have the original user Admin, make sure it is a member of the Admins group and try again.



STATUS
This behavior is by design.
