I'm sorry I didn't catch this before. There is no need to 'reinstall' your system.mdw. Click start-->Run then type wrkgadmn. That will bring up the work group administrator. Click the 'Create' button. Then simply make a new system.mdw.

(The old and new Passwords were blank in the dialog box.) I now get prompted with the Logon Dialog box that asks for the Administrator password, for every Access application that I attempt to use. Short of re-installing the SYSTEM.MDW from the installation CD, is there another quick way to rectify this problem? (I did not make a backup of the SYSTEM.MDW file but plan to do so from now on and my installation CD is currently unavailable.) I was previously not using the Security Workgroups feature of Access, but now it appears that I may have to.... Many thanks in advance. --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
