workgroup join problems

From: christianlott1 on 8 Jul 2010 14:10 Here's the story: I had an mdb (2003) with permissions setup (security1.mdw). I needed to make changes and since the original was bloated, I created a new access database. I'm sure it said accdb or something (2007) so I renamed it, imported all my objects into it, made my changes, then placed the new db in the network folder. When I went to add another person to the db, there was no way to access the user level security. When I clicked the shortcut it was asking me for a password but when I checked, I could open the db directly without one. After looking online I decided to do this: I saved the db as 2003, replaced it on the network. I then used the macro RunCommand WorkgroupAdminstrator to open the dialog to join the Security1.mdw. Here's my problem: ALL my databases now ask me for a password, ones that I never setup security for. My question: How do I turn off security in those db? How do I turn ON security on the needed db? Thanks
From: Douglas J. Steele on 8 Jul 2010 17:38 Rerun the WorkgroupAdministrator command again to join the standard system.mdw. Create a shortcut to open the specific database in question, including the path to the mdw in the shortcut. Note that the shortcut must include msaccess.exe in it: you cannot simply create a shortcut to the mdb file. Something like: "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\MSAccess.exe" "C:\Databases\MyApp.mdb" /wkrgrp "C:\Folder\Security1.mdw" (all one line, of course...) -- Doug Steele, Microsoft Access MVP http://www.AccessMVP.com/djsteele Co-author: "Access 2010 Solutions", published by Wiley (no e-mails, please!) <christianlott1(a)yahoo.com> wrote in message news:264ced53-5a55-4956-9d42-18d77f0647f0(a)y4g2000yqy.googlegroups.com... > Here's the story: > > I had an mdb (2003) with permissions setup (security1.mdw).

From: christianlott1 on 9 Jul 2010 10:40 Now my non secured db opens w/o password and when I click the shortcut to the other (secured) db it asks me for a password - but when I open the db that's supposed to be secured (the one I enter w/ the shortcut), it opens right up, no password. Thanks
