Security Wizards in Access 2000?

Guest

I have created a little database in Access 2000. I used security wizard to
try and secure the database. Now I am locked out of the database. It is
sending a message that I do not have the correct permissions although I
created the thing. How do I undo security wizard or restore permissions?

Try renaming the workgroup file it created (the MDW file) to some other
name, so that next time you open Access, it would point to the
system.mdw file and will not lock you out.

I would recommend doing the security settings manually, rather than
using the security wizard. This is a very good article:

Hope this helps! Good luck!

The wizard may have created a desktop shortcut to launch the mdb. Try using
that to start the database.
