Last summer, Joan Wild helped me tremendously, when I locked myself out of my
database...Well, I have done it again !

This client was quiet all winter, but his business being seasonal, he's now
asked me to resurect the project. Only problem is, I can't get into the
thing.

Ms. Wild had outlined the steps that resulted in my being prompted for the
password. If I could get that far, I believe that I know the password, but
cannot find the thread or remember how to get the database to prompt for a
user upon opening...

Thanking anyone who can help in advance, and hoping that Joan is still on
top of her game...

Are you using the correct workgroup file? That is what determines whether
you are prompted or not.

You need to open the database with the same workgroup file used to secure it. Easiest way to do that is through a
desktop shortcut, with the Target setup like this:

"Full path to msaccess.exe" "full path to your database" /wrkgrp "full path to your workgroup file"
