Workgroup Administrator_Access 2007

[Roger Bell]

Can any one tell me how you can join an existing group in access 2007?

In the earlier version it was under Tools_Security_Workgroupo
Administrator_Create or join group.


Thanks for any help

By using 2003.

Workgroup security has been removed from 2007.

Thanks John,

If I copy a Data Base and the System.mdw file created in Access 2003 to
another computer that is running Access 2007, how do I point to the mdw file
of the Workgroup? or will it simply work OK without doing anything?

Thanks for your help

Security will be supported IF you use the .mdb file format. It's not available
in the newer .accdb and related formats. I don't know how to "point to" the
mdw file.

I found this and it seemed to work for me:

It appears that there is no longer workgroup support under the tools menu in
2007, but I used "Method 1" from this article and managed to connect to the
Access 2000 mdb file that everyone else in the office is sharing.
