Need HELP getting to my own database!!!!

[VANGIEVRB]

I designed a very simple database to track some agencies and their services.
This database was going to be sent to them as a read-only purpuse for all
reports. I follwed the instructions from the wizard to apply the security and
now i can't open my own database.

I did printed the wizard report, and i am able to open the backup file it
made.

Please HELP

Thanks

Can't you just discard the secured database and continue working with
the backup?
Then next time you think about applying workgroup security, first
download, study, and fully understand the Security FAQ from
microsoft.com before proceeding. Unfortunately the Access interface
doesn't make it clear that this level of security is an advanced topic
and you cannot expect to just click-click your way through the wizard
and get good results. No wonder they finally came to their senses and
left it out of A2007.

The wizard likely created a desktop shortcut for you to use to open the secure mdb file - open it via that.
