Well, I don't know yet what it's for, but I have just seen (noticed) my first MD1, as well. I can't help you determine what it is yet, Karen, but at least you can know that you are not the only person to see this thing. BTW, FWIW - my md1 is in the front-end application folder of an MDE. Run-time was installed on this PC 1st, then full Office later.

My loading of the database already refers to the mdw. I am doing a new upload of the database in about 10 minutes. That is when the md1 will appear, if it is going to.

Hi Karen: I have not been keeping up with the list but here is my comment. I think the md1 file is actually a mdw file that has been renamed and incorporated as some form of security. Why do you not leave or change it's extension to mdw and load your app in the standard way. 'C:\progarm file\Office\11\msacccess.exe c:\MyDirectory\MyApplication.mdb /wrkgrp c:\MyDirectory\MyApplication.mdw' or 'c:\MyDirectory\MyApplication.md1' HTH Jim -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Nicholson, Karen Sent: Thursday, February 03, 2005 8:19 AM To: Access Developers discussion and problem solving Subject: RE: [AccessD] What is this .md1 That Is Locking My Security File?
