Right, I've ran a couple of searchs for the wrkgdme application and the only one present is in c winnt system32. Joining various workgroups via this has no effect when you check the workgroup settings through Access itself. As well as this, Access 2002 help make no mention of a seperate...

I have another question, related to security. The MS FAQ site on Access security states that the location of the wrkgadm.exe application used to change workgroup differs in each version of Access. For instance; Access 97 - C:\Windows\System 2000 - C:\Program Files\Microsoft...

Believe it or not, this thread started out as an ordinary question. It's turned into some sort of coup d'etat by the Watercooler.

Hi all. When I try to look at the security settings for my DB, I receive the error message Record(s) cannot be read; no read permission on 'MSysAccounts' My view settings are set to display all hidden tables etc, but I can't see this object anywhere. Does anyone know what / where it is...

Morning all. After much arsing around, I have managed to convert my '97 database to 2002 without resorting to the step of importing all the objects into a new database. However, a problem remains; When I try to examine the current User & Group permissions settings in the 2002 database, I...

Hi all. We're currently undergoing a conversion to Office XP, and I've got to test the conversion of an Access 97 database to 2002. I'm experiencing constant problems with this. The problems basically revolve around the security settings for the database. Is anyone aware of some MS protocol for...

Excellent.:D Congraulations to naughtyme2000, who had first correct post. Round of applause to you all for this thread. Now, what's all this I've heard about a database forum? Dave

Nah. Perhaps I should try to set up a gif file next. Of the horse running, like a train in the night.

That's about as clear as I can get it with 50 pixels to play with. Hint: The horse is Irish.

The guesses are coming thick and fast now. It's not Mr Ed, nor Pat Butcher - though you're onto the right species.

Erm. I don't know what a MyPony is I'm afraid. It's a character from a TV series. More like a guest character, actually.

No, it's not a Tweenie.

Oh, no offense taken. Though I pity the guy who's oesophagus looks like that. It's actually an image that someone might recognise. I'll try and clean it up a little and post it again.

I see what you mean. It does look pretty scary if you look at it like that.

He's a pony no more . . .

Great to find someone with the same task! I have joined the correct workgroup, and the neither the sub-directory nor the database are read-only. On attempting to open the database I receive the following error message: The current user account doesn't have permission to convert or enable this...

Hi all. I'm trying to upload an image for an avatar, but it's a .bmp file. How do I convert this to the required .gif or .jpeg? Cheers, Dave

Ah, thanks Len. I think perhaps I've explained my problem poorly. Here's a fuller picture. Our network is going over to NT piecemeal over the next few weeks, which means all Access databases will convert to 2002. We're testing these conversions now to make this process as smooth as possible...

Ok, I found the link. The relevant section appeared to be as follows: The best way to convert your security-enhanced Microsoft Access application is possible only if you remembered to write down your Workgroup ID (WID) and Personal ID's (PID) when you created your original security-enhanced...

As I understand it, if you don't know the password used to create the security in the first place, there is no way to retrieve it. Jet will not release the password under any circumstances. Access security is like a concrete chastity belt - once it's on, you'll never get it off. Doesn't this...
