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.

Subject: [AccessD] Accidentally Modified SYSTEM.MDA without Backup


Hi All,
While examining a file (chapter 14) from the CD in the Access97 ADH, I
opened the change password form and although I did not enter or change
passwords, I am no longer able to use any of my Access 2K files. (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.
