[AccessD] Remove Security

Richard

Fair enough if you want to take a break on it!

With the Admin password removed all users will be logged on as Admin, so you
should have whatever permissions the Admin account had. Unfortunately
standard procedure is to remove all permissions from the Admin account asap
because anyone managing to bypass the workgroup will be logging in as Admin.
If you have done this, then I think you'll be needing a crack to get into
the database. :(

Good luck

Roz

As I just found out the clearing of the Admin password simply removes the
prompt to enter user/password when Access loads - it does not remove
security - (its seems you are 'logged on' as the User (user) which in my app
did not have any permissions - to get the password back and the prompt you
need persmission to do so, which I no longer have - I had to restore my mdw
file to get back to where I was - anyway I think I'm going to abandon this
one and revisit when my head clears. Richard
