I would guess that the data store is still in A97 and the Access itself is in A2K. A2K could read but not write (forms / code etc) to an A97 container. Build a new container in A2K and import all of the objects into that container. John W.

The error message that I am getting on their PC is on a A2K installation. >>> "David McAfee" <davidmcafee at gmail.com> 3/27/2007 2:52 PM >>> The security message is part of your 2003 installation. You can go to Tools->options->Security and lower the level. As for the login prompt, Tools->options->there is probably something going on with the mdw. DO you have another secured mdb on your box? that app may not be set up correctly. Check out the securityFaq white paper. If you cant find it on Microsoft's site, check out RogersAccesslibrary.com and it is there. You can also (band aid fix) create a shortcut and put a username and password in the command line of the short cut (I believe even if the pw is blank).
