Access Login req at startup

[yogiyosh]

Hi, I'm a new user to access. I had a problem with a database that I'd secured. After deleting it off the server and before my machine crashed- Access came up with a message "Unable to find system.mdb, do you wish to repair?" After rebooting, the program continually messes up my databases in various ways. Is there a solution, without having to go to my network administrator for the re-instalation disk??

Find another user with the "system.mdW file on their machine, and put that file where yours should be. Otherwise you'll need a reinstall, maybe.

Where should your system.mdw file go? Depends on your version of Access and your operating system.


Next time you go to implement Access/JET security, please create a new MDW file instead of using the default MDW, which you apparently have done. You can do this using the Workgroup Administrator.
