    1. COThat's very helpful and clear. Perfect answer, thanks. I'm guessing that in brief, Access as an MS Office program only uses a subset of Jet capabilities, so that a Jet DB can be configured programmatically via API and VB in ways Access doesn't use or "look for". As for my colleague - the business has 4 people, so they'll need other solutions. He was asking me as a colleague who might find him a shortcut. The simple answer is "can't easily be done, sorry". It's still an improvement on "I don't understand what I'm seeing" :)

    2. CO(Background for the record:- The program's an old one and the company's developer has long left, my colleague wanted to get a report from it that wasn't built in and knows I've done Access/VBA in the past. He asked me and my offhand answer was it sounds straightforward (use Access's own report generator). When I took a quick look, though, I couldn't figure why the data tables for those reports weren't listed. Now we know :) I've also deleted the uploaded sample DB based on your comment as well)

    3. COThat's what I was missing. I didn't know where to find an answer. Usually if there's a security issue, there is a hint ("the database is protected") but Access's dialogs didn't give any clues. What I'm interested in, is not "how does one get round it" (which wasn't the point at all, thanks for not assuming!), but "my colleague's problem is due to some kind of database issue, but I can't find the problematic table to check for DB errors with a DB program". Your comment answers that. One question: to avoid my confusion in future, how does one check if there's a security restriction of the kind?
