Access 2002 unsecured database problem

[Annelie]

I work with 2 clients. On my computer I run access 2003 and with one company
I have a secured database, the security file sits in the same directory as
the data.
The other company still uses 2002 and I reloaded access 2002 just so I do
not have to hassle at this point with setting up security. This database was
never secured and I do not want to make changes at this time. When I open
the database on their computer, I have access to everything. When I open the
database using Access 2002 it automatically opens with the security settings
of the secured client, even if I use the default icon created by reloading
access 2002. Access 2002 should even know about the Access 2003 database.
How can I open the unsecured database without interference from the other
security settings?

You are likely joined to a workgroup other than the standard system.mdw.
Find and rejoin that file ... on my machine it's here: C:\Documents and
Settings\Scott\Application Data\Microsoft\Access (obviously you will have to
substitute the proper username)

Also, it sounds like you need to brush up on your understanding of Access
security, especially if you are building apps for others ... download and
study the MS Access Security FAQ -
