Yes, I'm using your exact example.

Hi everyone, I am using the Headway Shortcut Builder and after I use the shortcut to open my secure database, should the (Created) Security.mdw be the current .mdw under workgroup admin? Mine still has the System.mdw even after opening through shortcut. Is this right? Thanks so much!

Any idea on why the frmMain is still auto-starting? Thanks

Right now I currently have my Switchboard that opens on start up. The frmMain still opens by itself. The start-up is set to none already on your database that you uploaded. Thanks SOS! Q: After I use the shortcut to open my secure database, shouldn't the Security.mdw be the current .mdw under...

Ok, On the sample track users DB, How do I disable the frmMain from displaying on start-up? I wanted to make sure I didn't mess anything up.

That's fine! I'm going to start clean and re-split and set security. I have read through some recommended security articles, they cleared up some questions I had. I had a question about a sample database that you created awhile back on tracking users. Would it be ok if I PM'd you with my...

That's how i have it set up, sorry I didn't clearify. Like I stated in a previous post, I deployed the frontend and updated the shortcut to another computer and when I tried to log-in none of my permissions were set like I had them. I checked, and everything was pathed correctly, etc...

Do you guys have any thoughts on what the problem might be with the .mdw file. I can make changes to the .mdw file on any computer and it will change everyones, correct? I really want to get that fixed because I don't want to keep guessing on which permissions are applied to which .mdw file.

Each user has their own computer, as of right now I just have a folder (Database) directly under C:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\MSACCESS.EXE" "Q:\Product Lines\BB\Saip\HW Database\Secure Test\Split Deploy\DBDeploy_FE.mdb" /wrkgrp "Q:\Product Lines\BB\Saip\HW Database\Secure Test\Security.mdw I know I'm not supposed to use mapped drives but it is always the same, could...

Along with my other questions above, for some reason it seems like I have two different .mdw's. On a user computer there are different permissions than on mine. I have both shortcuts pointing to the same .mdw file on the network. How do I update the .mdw to be the same on all computers? Thanks

Here's another example from oldsoftboss! It works great too if you need another option.

Correct, Thanks gemma-the-husky!

Where would be the best place to deploy the FE on the users computers? If I went with Documents and Settings would I use All Users or the specific user? All users only use the one computer in their office. I didn't know if it mattered or not where the FE was deployed dealing with security issues...

That makes sense! So Access still needs to use the default System.mdw but then when the shortcut uses the user-level security .mdw that I created. Gotcha! Thanks for clearing that up. I have taken enough of your time today. Thanks again!

I was joined to the System.mdw before and that's why the log-in was showing up on every database I opened, correct? So the Workgroup administrator controls all of Access right? I guess i'm just confused on what the .mdw does. I created the security .mdw in my DB folder to use.

Sorry, updated last post.

Thanks so much SOS! Just to clearify, I joined the Security.mdw that I created when setting up the user-level security, I was linked back to the Access\System.mdw before I joined Security.mdw.

Under the Admin user there is only User in the Member of:? Is this correct?

Access won't allow me to delete the Admin? Do you have to set another admin first, right? Sorry i'm a noob!
