You do not have necessary permissions

[JEBHIGHLAND]

Hi - I wonder if anyone can help. In my haste today I ran the security wizard on an Access DB and I've locked myself out. Using Win XP home and Access 2003. Now when I try to open the DN it tells me I don't have the necessary permissions. I've hunted through the forum and there seems to be tons of postings on this, and I have tried creating a new .mdw file etc, but just can't get into it. Can anyone help me please in giving the exact steps I need to take to unsecure the DB again, as there is dozens of manhours work in it, and I desparately need to get it opened again. Thanks.

try restore your computer from an early date

Well, whenever you secured the database it should've made a backup (.bak file). Just change the extension to mdb and that's your database.

Don't have the backup? I can't help you then. I get the same error you get every time I secure a database.
