Opening up secured access database in 2010

[subwoofer]

Hello all

I have a database that I need to work on which is a secured access database (2003) but I have access 2010 installed on my PC. I have the work group too I should add.

Does anyone know how I can open up the database at home with 2010?

Many thanks for all help in adv.

Since this is still in the mdb format you should be able to open it just fine from a shortcut and using the correct MDW file.

Make sure you have a copy of the mdw file and then create your shortcut. I use Headway Shortcut Builder so I don't have to mess with getting the syntax correct.
