Oldie but a Goodie

[Tony Cannizzo]

I have an old .mdb from 1998, (four laptops and 5 OS's ago.

Currently running Access2003 on XP/Pro, but the mdb won't open due to not
being in the righ workgroup nor having permission to even Open/Run the file.

Can anyone help?

Thanks

IIRC, you will need the old System.mdw that was used with the old database.

If you still have the old Access installation, check Help on "removing
security" on a secured database.

Never mind. Found a SYSTEM.MDW and have happily been converting everything
over.
