Access 2007 from Access 2003

[Roger Tregelles]

Hi Folks,

I was just upgraded to Office 2007 and can no longer get into my secured
databases created in Office 2003. I used to use the following command line
from a Windows shortcut to gain access to one of my databases.

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12\MSACCESS.EXE" "C:\Documents and
Settings\rtregelle\My Documents\Access\IQA New\IQA_Frontend_Admin.mdb"
/RogerTregelles /wrkgrp "Q:\QualityWorkgroup.mdw" /pwd "XXXXXX"

When I changed the parameters to open Access 2007 I get an error stating,
"The command line you used to start Microsoft Office Access contains an
option that Microsoft Office Access doesn't recognize." What am I doing
wrong with my command line and more importantly how do I fix this? Thanks in
advance for any and all help provided.

Roger

Have you installed Workgroup.mdw on your machine? Is it where it is supposed
to be?

If you still can't open it, you may have to join the workgroup, then open
the database and enter the password.
