Password box keeps popping up when opening any dbase.

[Rog]

Can anyone tell me how to disable the password box from
always popping up anytime I try to open any Access
database. When I go to another machine I can open the
databases fine and it does not prompt me for a password,
but it's just from one particular machine. I already tried
uninstalling and reinstalling Office but it still comes up.
It is only in Access.

Thanks in advance
Rog

It is likely that your Access is using a security dot-mdw
file that has been changed from the default that was
installed with Access.

Find and execute the file "WrkgAdm.exe" to see which
security file (normally "system.mdw") your Access is
linked to and its location. You can then get a copy of
the "system.mdw" from another computer (or the original
Office CD) and replace your copy of the "system.mdw". You
can also use the "WorkgAdm.exe" to direct your Access
software to a different security file.
