Access 2000 Security - Workgroup, Owner, User Permissions etc., H Superfreak3 17.07.2006 13:58:01 I am attempting to grab some information from an Access 2000 database after the system from which it originated crashed. The information I have for this database is the password for entry to the database and a USER and its ID. Now, my question is, what do I need to do to setup an alternate machine to access this database. I've tried adding the USER to the system with Administrative rights. I've also tried recreating the workgroup information file, but that attempt failed as well. -- Any Help is GREATLY Appreciated!! THNX!!!
