Application Roles + Table SELECT permissions for Public.

  • Hi,

    I am using MSDE and Management Studio Express 2005. My front-end is an Access ADP.

    I have successfully set up an Application role for a database using Management Studio Express however, I find that whilst I can see the data on my subforms (datasheet view) in my Access ADP, combo boxes on the main forms don't fill unless I assign SELECT permissions for the relevant tables to the Public role (SELECT permissions are assigned to the Application role for all tables). Does anyone know why this should be the case ?

    Searching using Google, I can find no reference to having to do this.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hard to say not having access to the system but select privilege has to be granted either to the user account Access is using to connect to the database or to public - if you want to allow any and everybody in.
