system.mdw

[JIM.H.]

Hello,
We have a terminal server and a few user, they login
terminal server and launch a Access97 mde file. I copy mde
file to a different folder for each user as a front end
to let them work independently. Back end is another
database file and tables are linked to front end. Now I am
getting "Could not use C:\WINNT\System32\system.mdw"
message. How can I get rid of this, there is no user login
to the database.
Thanks,
Jim.

There is a user login, the default is "admin" without a password. In that
case, you won't see the login, but security (albeit wide-open) is in place.
You need to tell your login where the proper system.mdw is. For instance
here's a sample shortcut with a special mdw file:

"C:\ProgramFiles\Microsoft Office\Office10\MSACCESS.EXE"
"F:\Projects\App.mdb" /wrkgrp "F:\Projects\Secured.mdw"
