Problem with form to change passwords - with new MDW file

S

Suzann

I have a form for a user to change his/her password in a secured db. After
applying the security wizard and using the default SYSTEM.MDW file, the form
works exactly as it's supposed to (many thanks to previous posts from Gunny,
Joan Wild, and the other experts).

Since the front end of this database will be on a network drive, I changed
the name of the mdw file and successfully made a shortcut that refers to the
new workgroup file that contains the security info. Now, when a user tries
to change the password, when they try to log back on with the new password,
they get an error message saying invalid user or password. I know this
probably has something to do with the renamed mdw file (which is located on
the same drive as the secured database) but I'm not sure how to properly
reference it in my event procedure. I've read the response to question 42 in
the Security FAQ but not sure where to apply the code .. or even if that is
the correct syntax I should use.

Any suggestions? Thank you for your continued guidance.
