Security

[Guest]

I have an access database. I set it up with a front-end/back-end. The
front-end resides on each user's machine and the back-end resides on a common
shared directory. I set up user IDs and passwords / priviledges for all
users. Everything worked fine for the past two years. This past weekend,
our sys admins switched from an NT to Windows 2000 domain... now the IDs and
passwords aren't recognized. Yes, the user names on the domain have changed,
but there was not a one for one match up of domain user name and database
user name. Case in point, I set up a dba account with the ID of dba (I know,
original, huh?)... trying to access that ID I get the pop up "Not a valid
account name or password." Yes, I rejoined the workgroup... what can I do
to access the database? Everything is at a standstill now. Any help would be
greatly appreciated.

Are you certain you joined the correct mdw? That is the most likely cause.

Perhaps you could use a desktop shortcut instead.
"path to msaccess.exe" "path to secure mdb" /wrkgrp "path to secure mdw"

Do you have read/write/create/delete permission on the folder where the
mdb/mdw are?
Also check the status of your capslock key.
