Error 3358:Microsoft Jet engine cannot open workgroup information

Hi,
I am trying to open an Access database associated with a workgroup file. I
have joined this workgroup but when I try to open the db, instead of getting
a logon screen, I get the message "Error 3358 Cannot open the Microsoft Jet
engine workgroup information file". Can anyone please enlighten me on how to
get around this ?
Thanks,
San

Try this & see if it works.

1. Close Access, & all Access databases.

2. Find file "system.mdw" - it should be in a system folder.

3. Rename that file to something else - eg. "system.mdw.SAVED"

4. Try again

Post back & say if that worked.

HTH,
TC
