Subject: RE: OT - MS Access Application password protected from doing
anyt hing
I belive somone as joined to a Workgroup.
There is a file called system.mdw
In a clean installation that file, who takes care of the Access security and
consequely the DB's for that user/users, is empty.
-Find the file System.mdw (You may use the next step to see their location)
-Rename'it or do a backup.
-get a clean System.mdw and put'it in the same path.
-Run C:\WINNT\system32\WRKGADM.EXE to join to that clean System.mdw
You may find some information on Access help with the word System.mdw and
security.
The Question's about User Name anda pwd's no longer cames on!
Note: this tips are on Access 2000, I don't recall'it weel but in Access 97,
there are same diferences in the path and in the name of the exe are slight
diferent. Again with the Help you may find that information.
