Can anybody please tell me the default location of the system.mdw for a fresh
installation of Access 2003 on Windows XP and a fresh installation of Access
2007, also on Windows 2007.

I believe they're installed in the <root>\Program Files\Common Files\System directory. A quick look in the registry key
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Office reveals this to be the case, but that's on my machine. Note that, for each version of
Access installed, this information is in the Jet\<version number>\Engines key, so to find the one for Access 2003
(Access 11) you'd look here:

My Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Access\Jet\4.0\Engines

.... the value you're looking for is the SystemDB value ...

As to 2007, I'm not sure one is included with 07 since it no longer makes use of ULS ... when I look in my registry, I
find no key for Jet in the 2007 registry subkey.
