Password Issues With Non Protected Database Asking For Password
Nov 8, 2005Hi,
Firstly thank you for your help, this should be a simple one I hope, but is cracking my head on the wall. Have searched and searched and can't find an answer.
I have an Access Db that is not password protected, but is asking for a password.
It opens on any other machine fine?
I think my version of Access is playing funny buggers with me, any suggestions?
I was trying to implement some security on this Db, which is why it happened I'm sure. I ran the security wizard, set-up two users and admin with passwords, I have the output file to "recreate" something too.
Issue is, I then copied this Db to another computer for use on there, it worked without a Password, so didn't need to worry about it, now I can't open any Db on my machine??
Your help on this obvious pointer would be great!

Workgroup
Oct 31, 2006Hi there,
I'm trying to put in place a workgroup and I'm struggling with it at the moment. I created a seperate workgroup and have a command line short cut to it. When I try to add a user to the admin group permissions it works fine except that I can't open any of the forms in design mode. It says I do not have exclusive rights . I dont know what to do. I though that the admin password would be set to blank but It won't open the database either.
Any ideas, im pulling me hair out.
Workgroup Security
Jun 2, 2005Might be a stupid question but here goes.
I have successfully created my own private workgroup and have set up security levels for 4 users on one access programme that l have written.
I have a second access programme that l use with the same users, however l want to set different user parameters, can l set a second workgroup up as l did the first.
Is two workgroups possible on the same machine ?

Workgroup Problem
Jun 5, 2006I currently have several Access 2003 databases on my computer. I have been working on a new one that must be secured.I have created a new .mdw file to handle this. The path to this file is included in the shortcut. Everthing works great.
HOWEVER:
Whenever I close this database and then open another, it is still promting me for a password (the other DBs aren't supposed to be secure). I have changed the shortcuts to go through the old system.mdw but it still does it. When I change the workgroup manually, the secure database no longer prompts me for a password. It would appear there is more to selecting the workgroup than just editing the shortcut.
Help -- Workgroup Security???
Jul 26, 2007I'm trying to set-up and secure a networked multi-user database. I used the Workgroup Administrator to create a new workgroup and save it to the network drive. However, when I open my database, it seems it may still be pointing to the the default SYSTEM.MDW workgroup on my hard drive. Do I need to do something to my database to tell it to point to the new workgroup I have set-up? When I start having other people log in from different locations, will they need to join the workgroup or also point the database to the networked workgroup when they open the database? The manuals aren't very clear on this, please help.

Sep 21, 2005We have an old Access 97 database with a workgroup file. The problem was that the machine was upgraded and the software was changed to XP. They support guys moved all files to the new PC except the the workgroup file. We can't fine a backup of the w/g file.
I am unable to upgrade the database to access 2002 because of the permissions.
What is the easiest way to get past this stumble block.

MS Access- Workgroup Files
Jul 18, 2006We are running two versions of Access (97 and 2003) on some of our machines. We recently set up a new workgroup file, but it seems that on the machines that have the two versions of Access the workgroup file reverts back to the old setting everytime the user logs in again.
What do we need to do to prevent the workgroup file from switching back?
Thanks
Join Workgroup Using A Zip File
Jul 27, 2006Present
Go to user computer, and then manually to join the workgroup.
Is this possible?
Send email to new user.
Join workgroup using a zip file. When file is un-zip the user automatically joins the workgroup and places a short cut on there desktop.
Not asking for to much, you think.
Lost Workgroup File
Oct 5, 2006Hi,
I setup user-level security on the database. the workgroup file was deleted by somebody.
How can I open the database?
Because I create the same name for workgroup group file and input the same WID. It did not restore the original one I lost.
Right now, the database cannot be opened.
Please let me know how to solve.
Thanks.
Specifying A Workgroup File To Use From A Shortcut
Jan 9, 2008Hey all,
I was wondering if any of you guys know how to specify a custom workgroup file in a shortcut to my database.
This is what I've got in my shortcut:
C:TESTTEST.mdb /w "C:TESTSECURITYFILE.MDW"
Basically I want access's system.mdw to remain the default mdw for access but want my mdb to use a different mdw.
Many thanks!
How To Link Tables That Are Not In The Same Workgroup
Feb 6, 2006I would like to link to a table that is not in the same workgroup as the database I am working in.
Both databases are from different departments - I only want read rights to the linked table to run queries against some data in my database. I have access to the database I am trying to link to - but have not been able to figure out a way to do this?
Workgroup File Security
Oct 27, 2004This is more of a point of interest then a question, at work, Access defaults to a central workgroup file, so all Access files opened on a work machine will prompt for a user name and password, and only let you in if you get it right... but if you move the work group file, even after it has been open using that workgroup file, it will just let you straight in and GIVE YOU ADMIN RIGHTS!
No one really seems to know about this... does it happen if you manually set the workgroup file? Or is this just a security hole if you rely on the default? I'm not sure yet, haven't tested, but i fell people should be made aware (happens for sure on Access2002, haven't tested it on any others)

Workgroup Security Alternative?
Apr 21, 2005I was looking for free access add-ins through a search engine when I came across this site. I'm not sure whether or not some of the more seasoned programmers have seen this, but so far it looks like a less confusing alternative to the security features that access comes with. I'm not in any way advertising this, and I haven't tried it myself yet, so I can't speak about how good or bad it is, but it may be something worth looking into. Here are the links:
http://www.accesswizards.com/Downloads.html This lists the add-ins that are available from this particular site.
http://www.accesswizards.com/SecDetails.html This is the "read me" information about the security add-in.

View 9 Replies View RelatedUsing Copy Of Existing Workgroup File On A New Db?
Jun 17, 2005Hi all,
I've set up security on my database before with great success, and now I'd like to use the same workgroup file (a copy with a new name and location) to secure a nes db.
I open the new db, and join my earlier created mdw file. I'm prompted with that I have joined my workgroupfile.
I then set permissions for each user in the workgroupfile, remove admin rights for the admin user account, and assign admin rights to my own account. I am also the owner of thr db.
I now run the security wizard, and I make no changes to any checkboxes.
This goes nicely, and the wizard closes after making a backup file.
I now want to re-join the system.mdw file, so I don't get prompted with the logon dialog when opening a new db or an unsecured db.
If I now try to start my new secured db by double-clicking on the secured mdb file it opens ?????
Where am I going wrong?
Thanks in advance for any help.
Workgroup File In MS Access 2003
Jun 29, 2005I created a Workgroup file (Project.mdw), assigned different Permissions to different Groups, and put different Users in appropriate Groups.
The above setup is working fine and just as required. But, if I remove or rename the Workgroup file, MS Access does not look for it, creates in its own Workgroup file and starts just as usual - without asking for the Password, or caring about the Permissions and/or restrictions set.
How can I make the database file bound to the MDW file, so that it does not open without it.
Assigning Workgroup To Just One Database File ?
Jul 26, 2005Hi,
I am trying to setup User Level Security around a Purchase Order Database that I created. Using the Wizard I was able to setup different users with different permissions.
However, as I found out the hard way (but I did recover it), 'joining' a PC to a my new security workgroup forces all Access databases on the PC to use this.
Is there a way to force just this one Access .mdb file to use the newly created PO Workgroup security file ?
I am aware of setting up a shortcut to point to thesecured db. Ie: "C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficeOfficemsaccess.exe" /wrkgrp "C:PO FormsMyWorkgroupFile.mdw" "C:PO FormsMyDB.mdb" /user
But despite the above shortcut, couldn't users just find out where it points to (by looking at the Properties of the shortcut), and open the .mdb file based on that ?
Thanks !
Workgroup File (system.mdw) Problem
Jul 28, 2005I recently created a workgroup for an access database and it works fine. But I have other versions of that same database (beta copies) for which I didn't create that workgroup file. They have different names than the first DB for which I made the workgroup.
But even when I open those beta copies it still launches the workgroup file (system.mdw) and prompts me to login. What do I need to do to revert these changes and go back to the unsecured version of my database?
Is it as simple as deleting this file?
Thanks in advance,
Angelo
