Wrkgadm.exe worgroup admin app

[Jason Buck]

(Access 2000)I am trying to create a new workgroup, but I
can't find this wrkgadmn.exe on my computer to create a
new one. The direction that I have gotten from a
reference books tells me to runs this (wrkgdmin.exe)
outside of Access, but I can't find it. I must looking in
the wrong place. How do you create a new wrkgrp file,
without changing the current wrkgrp file (system.mdw)
that the database connects to.

Start, Run, wrkgadm.exe

okay.. I have created a new wrkgrp file "ediSYS.mdw". I
call it from the run command: "msaccess.exe""...EDI
Database.mdb"/wrkgrp"ediSYS.mdw

It brings it up, but when I check my other DB's wrkgrp
file it has changed from "...SYSTEM.mdw"
to "...ediSYS.mdw"

What I am doing wrong?

When you run wrkgadm.exe and create a new workgroup, it also makes it the
default one to use for *all* sessions.

What you need to do is use wrkgadm.exe to rejoin the default system.mdw.
Access will then use this one for all sessions.

For your secure mdb, use a shortcut to launch it. The shortcut switch can
be used to tell Access to use your edisys.mdw *just for that session only*.
All other sessions will use the default one. The shortcut target would look
like:

"path to msaccess.exe" "path to mdb" /wrkgrp "path to edisys.mdw"
