Converting ".mdw" file to access 2003

[sap4ora]

Hello,

How to convert an “.mdw†file created with Access 2002 user-security wizard
to an access 2003. Any system with access 2003 installed shows the un-know
icon for my security shortcut.

Regards,

You don't need to convert the mdw, since both 2002 and 2003 use the same
format.

If your shortcut is showing 'unknown', it's likely because the path to
msaccess.exe is different on the 2003 machines. Typically
c:\program files\microsoft office\office10\msaccess.exe - 2002
vs
c:\program files\microsoft office\office11\msaccess.exe - 2003

Hi there,
Thanks for the reply, the system doesn't allow me to change it to Access
2003 path?
Message:"c:\program files\microsoft office\office11\msaccess.exe " not a
valid path? I have done this on 2002 and 2003 systems and I got the same
result?

Do a search on the computers with 2003 - Start, Search, Files and folders
and search for msaccess.exe - that will tell you the correct path.
