[AccessD] MDW file...break in?

Can't help with the breakin, but I commiserate with you on cleaning up
after the errant programmer.  I've seen far too many projects
"developed" by someone who bought a book, built a single database, and
decided they were a developer. Yikes!!

OK, This programmer seems to have never told anyone the Admin password,
and now he is somewhere cross-country in an RV. How the bejeepers can I
get into the damn thing?! I got in using one of the users accounts, and
I explored the security area...I somewhat remember brushing over this
about 2-3 years ago...but I cannot do anything with her account..and
nobody else seems to have rights either. What if this shmuck dies on
this trip? We are never able to add or remove or modify users ever
again?  
 
I should be loving this. Serves 'em right for going behind my back and
having this guy do my job! But at the moment it is just a PITA!!! Ya
know when the "I'm thinking of going on my own" type threads come
around? Well, I'll tell ya...If this guy is making a living at it,
anybody can. His programs are ugly and he even misspells
commands...first thing I noticed was a button for Attorneys spelled,
"attornies."
 
I'm leaving...it is snowing like hades again and I'm getting home before
I end up sleeping here.
 
See ya!
 
Thanks again!
