open secured xp db in 2007

TIA:

How does one open a secured XP database (has MDW file) in Access 2007. I
understand 2007 doesn't have user level security but MS says it should work.
I can't figure out how to tell Access 2007 to read the MDW file (no workgroup
admin).

Thanks for any help.

Create a shortcut that includes:
- the full path to msaccess.exe,
- the full path to your database,
- the full path to your MDW file, after the /wrkgrp switch.

The target of the shortcut will be something like this (one one line):
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE12\MSACCESS.EXE"
"C:\Data\MyMDBFile.mdb" /wrkgrp "C:\Data\MyMDWFile.mdw"
