How do I remove all default security setting from the Access program?
I try to put security on one file but seemed to have it on all access file
or database that i have put together prior to the initial one.
 
It sounds to me that you have changed the default "System.mdw" that is used
in common for all databases run from your PC.

Extract the original System.mdw from your office CD (or copy it from another
clean PC) and replace the changed System.mdw with the clean System.mdw.

You likely miss understood how security works. When you launch ms-access,
you ARE ALWAYS joined to a security file. If you assign a password to the
admin user, then you will ALWAYS be prompted for a password. This security
file, and your logging into ms-access OCCURS BEFORE you open ANY ms-access
file.

So, either you have modified the default security file and assigned a
password to the admin logon. The instant you assign that password, you will
always have log into ms-access. You THEN OPEN the mdb file of your choice
(so, login, and security occurs BEFORE YOU OPEN ANY ms-access file).

The other possible (likely) situation is that you used the workgroup admin
program to join another workgroup. This workgroup was likely created for a
particular (one) mdb file, and the instant you join a workgroup file, then
that workgroup file is used when launching ms-access. So, the solution is to
join back to your original workgroup file, and thus you will NOT be prompted
for a password anymore.

Since it sound like you only want ONE mdb file secured, then you best use a
shortcut command to specify the workgroup file, and thus will ONLY be
prompted for logon, and passwords for that one particulate secured
application. (in a nutshell, don't join a workgroup file, but ALWAYS specify
a shortcut for the workgroup file).
 
good stuff

do you MDB wusses really think that it's safe to use the System.MDW
from the Office Disk? are you sure that Access 2003 SP1 doesn't change
this file?

I would reccomend avoiding MDB / MDW / MDE in it's entirity and using
Access Data Projects.

Only pussies use MDB for anything.. grow some balls; learn SQL Server..
Access Data Projects makes SQL Server JUST AS EASY as dev in MDB
