who created the password

[Sherril]

Hi excuse my amaturish question her but.... I am the only
user of my stand alone PC and Microsoft Access 2002 keeps
setting passwards on sections of my databases without any
such action by me!!!!!
I can edit delete add ect.. data and view in all formats,
however I can not compact and repair the databases. Why???
How??? This has happened on three seperate databases now.
The second two of these were recreations of the origonal
databases that I had been locked out of by requests for
passwords that I had not set. I have not touched the
security options or set any users or workgroups
ect....mainly because I am not up to that stage in
database use yet. gratefull regurds for any forthcoming
advise

Certain forms of corruption will make the file act as if a password has
been set. Opening the file in Word has been known to cause this.
Unfortunately that particular form of corruption is usually not
correctable.
