Help!! Workgroup Information Files!

[Guest]

Hi,

I created a new workbook file and saved it to my local drive. I then opened
up a database, selected Tools, Security, Workgroup Administrator. I think
did a "join" and browsed to that new workgroup info file. Now, however, all
my other databases, when I open them and view the workgroup administrator
information, they show that newly created file...I did NOT want that to occur
for all databases! How do I get those databases back to the default
workgroup file it was first created with?

Thank you!

Use the workgroup administrator to rejoin the standard system.mdw that ships
with Access (Search for it first).

When you joined your secure mdw, you made it the default one to use for all
sessions - that's what the WA does.

You want to leave the default as system.mdw and instead create a desktop
shortcut to launch your secure databases. The target would look like:

"path to msaccess.exe" "path to secure mdb" /wrkgrp "path to secure.mdw"

looking at some posts below. I appreciate all the information and help!
