Yes, I do find a CMS.mdw, in the data directory (i.e. where those program files are). I opened it at one time and seen a couple of tables with some user info, but now I cannot get into those again either. Its bad enough that they had someone in doing my job, but the dude could at least work with me and conform to 'our' system. Thanks John W Clark >>> jwcolby at colbyconsulting.com 01/15/04 01:06PM >>> Do you find an ms.mdw anywhere? How about a CMS.mdw? AFAIK the name isn't critical, i.e. it can be anything. I can't explain the missing quote, other than maybe the parser doesn't need it and so it happens to work. John W.

My confidence has increased 1000%, which I attribute directly to my involvement with this list. Just yesterday, my boss made some crack about an external programmer that they have used...basically saying that if I get as good as him I could do what he does (he is currently taking a year off and traveling the country in an RV)...and for the first time, I stood up and said, "I am just as good, if not better, than [that guy]." Anyhow, now that I have explained how 'good' I have become, I was thrown a twist. Because this guy is out of town, he cannot respond to a call that they have regarding a program he wrote. It needs to be placed on the desktops, of another department. "No problem," I said, "I can handle it." But I notice in the shortcut that exists, in the original department, it uses an .MDW file in the target line (ms.mdw" "c:\program files\cms\cmssecure.mdb"). I just called to verify this line, because I thought that at least a "c was missing from the front...I don't get the one quote mark. I have never used workgroup features of Access, and I really don't plan to. What do I need to do to set this up? Thanks! John W Clark John W. Clark Computer Programmer / Asst.
