Hi
I've created a new .mdw file to access my db for security purposes, together with a shortcut that references the .mdw file so that the password prompt only occurs when the users access the db via the shortcut.
My problem is that if I try to open a new instance of Access in the normal way (i.e. not via the shortcut), the prompt still appears. I have gone back into the workgroup manager and 'joined' the .mdw file that was already there (before the one I created) but this seems to have no effect.
What I am doing wrong??
TIA
