We seem to be going in circles.

If you have Access installed on your PC there will be a file named
system.mdw somewhere on it (if not then copy it from another computer and
put it in the windows system folder).

Using Start, Run, wrkgadm.exe click on Join and join this system.mdw
workgroup.

Sorry I haven't been clear.

There are MDBs on my computer and only the shortcut to the
network MDW.

I do have Access 2000 installed on my PC but do not have
the system.mdw but a shortcut to the green_system.mdw.

My coworker has Access 2000 and the green_system.mdw
shortcut on his system.

I am prompted for username/password but my coworker is not.

I can't create blank Access databases without being
prompted for a username/password.

I can't get any username/password to work. I also tried
using Admin/<blank> and this also does not work.

Databases on my system and on the network do not allow me
to open them without a username/password. (Even the ones I
created with Access 97 and where I am the owner of them.)

Other people can access the databases without using a
username/password.

None of my coworkers has a file called "system.mdw" on
their PCs and all of them have the link to the file on the
network called "green_system.mdw" so I can't copy this
file and put it on my PC. I've tried to join that
workgroup and I still get prompted for username/password.

I don't know what to do.

What is in this shortcut on your machine (please post what's in the target).

When? Are you just opening Access (Start, Programs...)? Do you get this
when you open the green_system.mdw shortcut?

When you use Start, Run, wrkgadm.exe what does it tell you the default
workgroup file is?

Well that wouldn't work. If the Admin password was blank, you'd get no
login prompt.

Please respond with the answers to all my questions.

How do I post an application on here?

I never try to open the green_system.mdw. It doesn't look
like an Access database.

Access does open then it prompts me for the
username/password if I try to open any of the MDB files or
if I try to create a new database.
