After installing MS Office Professional Edition 2003 on my home computer, I
open Access and try to start a new data base. However I keep getting the
following error message:"Workgroup Administrator couldn't create the
workgroup information file. Make sure that you have specified a valid path
and file name, that you have adequate permissions to create the file, and
that you have enough disk space on the destination drive. (-3100)". What this
appears to be telling me is that Access cannot create the system.mdw file. I
have done a search for it and it does not exist in the location it is
supposed to be in. Furthermore, I have no idea what the "Workgroup
Administrator" is as I am using this at home and do not have a workgroup that
I am aware of. I had an earlier edition of MS Office, Office XP, and was able
to access my database files when I had that program.
Any suggestions? How do I get Access to create the mdw file?
