Security

[Jenn Civello]

I have created a Workgroup Information File and now it will not let me into
that file. I keep getting an error " You do not have the necessasy
permissions, have the administrator establish the correct permissions for
you", well I created this database, so how do I get back into it?

You don't need to create another WIF, just join the WIF you used when you
created the mdb originally. Use Tools, Security, Workgroup Administrator
and click on JOIN, not create.

OK, I did that and now I am getting this error " could not open table
MSysAccounts in the workgroup information file" what do I do now?

That error usually occurs if you are using a converted mdw. Was this
originally secured in an earlier version of Access?

You best bet would be to unsecure it in the older version, and then convert
and then resecure it.
