MS Access 2003 - Owner

D

DMPhillips

I'm used to Access 97 security, so with 2003 I created a work group file and
a blank database, logged on with MyID and created a new database, which
opened immediately. MyID was the database owner until I logged out. When I
logged on again the default 'Admin' user was now the owner.

Is there any way for MyID to retain or obtain database ownership?

That doesn't make sense. Are you certain you were joined to your custom
workgroup file when you created the new mdb?

Be sure you follow every step in securing.

Although the whitepaper is old, it contains information to help you
understand security.
