cannot convert or enable database

[Fred Plate]

We have a secured database in MS Access 2000 SR-1. It is divided into a
front-end and back end. I am owner of the database and all objects. I can
open the front end and do whatever I want with the queries and forms there,
including full use of the data in the back end.

When I try to open the back end, I sign in as usual. Then I get the message
that, "The current user doesn't have permission to convert or enable this
database."

HELP!

Thanks,
Fred Plate

I've had success with the following two approaches:

1. From the DB window of the front end database, use File-Open to open the
backend database.

2. If #1 fails, from the front end database use File-New to create a new
database in the same folder as the backend. Open it and import everything
from the backend database. Then a little renaming should take care of things.

Thanks, #2 worked like a charm!
