Another question about removing security Andrew B 20.09.2006 16:19:03 Hi, I'm in a bit of a bind. I have been given a copy of an Access 97 database that has security already set up. I have the shortcut file, the .MDB file and the .MDW file. I am using Access 2002 on my PC. I can log on to use the database application (as Administrator - using the shortcut), but I can't get into Design Mode to make any changes. Help! -- Andrew B

Do you get a permission error?; you say you are logging in as 'Administrator', but is that user a member of the Admins group? Are you sure this user has the appropriate permissions? Are you just not able to get into design view(it's disabled); if that's the case, you likely have a MDE not a MDB. -- Joan Wild Microsoft Access MVP Andrew B wrote: [Quoted Text] > Hi, > > I'm in a bit of a bind.
