Object Owner

[Guest]

Hello,

I have a database in access 97. Now i want to convert de database do a
higher number(2003) but i get a error. A couple of objects(forms) don't have
a owner by security. the owner is unknown. I tried to login with several mdb
files ect. but 5 of the 40 forms have this owner and i cant't change this.
That means that i need to rebuild de forms. but i also can't look to de vba
code. because i'm not the owner

please help me


regards Ricardo

Your best bet is to hope that the person who applied the security forgot
something and you can change the owner. Have a look at the Security FAQ for
a possibly weakness:

There are several sources online that purport to be able to crack passwords
for Office applications. You might want to look one of them up. I am always
dubious of their success, so I'd make sure that they can send you at least 1
of the forms before paying them.
