Security- workgroup ID

[Guest]

I read all other questions about security and I didn't find the answer that I
need.
I created an Access 2000 database for a friend and I secured it. I remember
printing the worgroupID with all the users and passwords. My friend is now
having a problem with his database and asked me to helped him, he burned the
database in a CD and mailed it to me. I have all the users and passwords,
but my friend can't find the printed page with the workgroup ID. I can't
open the database, it tells me I don't have permission, I don't know how to
link the .mdb file with the workgroup file, I don't even know if that is what
I need to do. Can you help me please?

When you secured it, you must have created an MDW file. Get your friend to
send you that as well.

To open the MDB and use that MDW file, create a shortcut pointing to the MDB
file. The shortcut MUST reference msaccess.exe:

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\MSAccess.exe" "C:\Program
Files\Microsoft Office\Office\Samples\Northwind.mdb" /wrkgrp "C:\Secure.MDW"

Did he include the mdw file on the CD? If so then copy both to disk (reset the
read only flag) and then create a shortcut with a target like...

"full path to MSAccess.exe" /wrkgrp "full path to mdw" "full path to mdb"

That should open his mdb using his supplied mdw as the workgroup.
