Access is bypassing workgroup logon... HELP!

[esrade]

We run NT 4.0 and use Access 97. Everyone in my department has had
their workgroups changed to a departmental workgroup with individual
IDs and the ADMIN id has been stripped of its rights.

Everything worked fine for almost two years. At some point this
morning, something changed and now Access is bypassing the workgroup
log-on. According to FMS Admin, people are now being logged on under
the default ADMIN id. Since I (one of the only people with full admin
rights) cannot log in under my ID, I cannot change or see anything.

Anyone have any idea what might have happened, or know of any
workaround? I talked to the Network Services people, who said that
nothing was scheduled to happen last night or this morning. I tried
creating a new unsecured database and importing but (a victim of my
own security measures), am not allowed to import many of the key forms
and info.

Please help................
Thanks.

You have not secured the database properly. Have you read
the Access Security FAQ? If not, then I *strongly* recommend you go to
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=207793 where you can download it or read it
on line. It clearly spells out all the steps you need to take.

Especially read section 32, which explains your situation.
