Issue trying to open dbase because of the permissions

[nadine]

Hi,

Can any one help me . I have a copy of a dbase that I am trying to open but
it is comming up with an error message telling me that I do not have the
necessary permissions to use the dbase and to get the person who created the
object to give you permission. Is there any way around this.

Thanks

You need the workgroup file (mdw) that was used to secure it. Start by
searching for all *.mdw files.

You can create a desktop shortcut like
"path to msaccess.exe" "path to mdb" /wrkgrp "path to mdw"
and try and open the database. Change the shortcut for each mdw, until you
find the right one.
