Cannot open the Microsoft Access Jet engine workgroup information

[Guest]

I have users using Access 2002 SP2. When they try to create a new database
or open a current database, they receive the following error message:

Cannot open the Microsoft Access Jet engine workgroup information file

I uninstalled and reinstalled Access and still receive the same error. Does
anyone know why we are seeing this error message?

Lloyd,
You may get a better answer if you post in the Security group. I am by no
means knowledgable in Access security. I do know, however there is a problem
with an .mdw file. mdw files are what controls Access security. I would
guess that one is missing, or somone has modified and the modification is
causing the problem. Sorry, but now you know as much as I do about it
Post your question in the Security group and I think someone there can help.
