    Protect from Delete


    I have a database on a network drive. IS there a way to protect the database from being deleted?

    No, there isn't. So make sure that your IT folks are making backups of the network resource and can restore a single file if needed.

    When using Access the users need to have read/write/delete permissions for the folder that the frontend and the backend are in, so you can't remove the delete permissions.
