Opening 2003 security database in 2007

[ddoblank]

I have read thru on how to open a 2003 database with user level security in
2007 and it doesnt seem to work. I greated the database so I do have admin
access but it won't let me even type in a password. Any ideas on how I can
gain access to my 2003 version on 2007?

Try creating a shortcut to the database, and put the reference to the group
file (.mdw) in the shortcut. Note that the shortcut must include
msaccess.exe, not just the .mdb file.

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\MSAccess.exe"
"C:\MyApp\MyApp_FE.mdb" /wrkgrp "E:\Myapp.mdw"

Thank you so much Doug. That worked perfectly.

For some reason this doesnt work for me.
It tells me that the locations doesnt exist.

The first part:
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\MSAccess.exe"
is the location of your Access executable file (Access.exe). It may be in a
differenet location than the one in the example.

The second part:
"C:\MyApp\MyApp_FE.mdb"
is the location of the database file you want to open.

The switch:
/wrkgrp "E:\Myapp.mdw"
is the location of the workgroup file.

For all of these, use the actual locations of the files on your computer

Note that if you have Access 2007 you need to use the Access 2003 file format.
