Share to new users......

[Guest]

I have a database that was created by someone other than me.
What I would like to do is share the frontend with new users.

I have access to 'secured.mdw',the 'snapshop' and can gain access by logging
on as one of the predetermined users.
The only way I can logon is on the PC where the orginal db resides - there
are backups of the front and back ends, but i can not get in (error: you do
not have sufficient priveliges.)

How can I copy the frontend so that other users can gain entry to the
database?

The users need access to the MDW file as well as the MDB and then you
need to create custom shortcuts that specify the secure mdw as a
command line argument. The shortcut target would be constructed as ...

"Path to MSAccess.exe" /wrkgrp "Path to secure.mdw" "Path to mdb"
