If I use supertool or Query then I get the following error message base macbas.pub.frmacs,1,password UNOBTAINABLE ACCESS MODE; AOPTIONS REQUESTED: %000000, GRANTED: %000000 If we try access using the database read password it works. What is wrong with what we are doing , this is causing us some serious issues.
