You do not want to join a users computer to your mdw file! You must use a custom shortcut to specify where the msaccess.exe is, where the mdw is and where the mdb is.

The users computer must be joined to the default system.mdw file. Doing anything else will prevent the user from opening any other database. If a user can open you secured database without using a your customized mdw file, then you database is not correctly secured!
