problem when using system.mdw

[John]

Hi,
I have trouble when using the file system.mdw. In the application I use,
I have to switch to a system.mdw on the server. This file was shared by all
users using the application. However, when I join that file and then run the
application, Access prompts me that the file is in use. So, I would like to
ask if there were any settings in Access installed in my PC have been wrongly
config.?

Thank you for your help.

Rgs,
John

John,
The first thing to check is that you have full permissions (Read, Write,
Modify, and Delete) permissions on the folder where the .mdw file resides.

It is preferable not to keep switching workgroup files by using the
workgroup administrator program or function. Instead, create a shortcut
using the /wrkgrp switch to select the correct workgroup file /without/
changing the default. Google this group for "wrkgrp" for more
information.

HTH,
