I inherited an oold mdw file that is used by our applications.  The admin
password is unknown.  I added a user.  Now when i open any access mdb it will
only work with that users login.  How can I remove that user.  some3how this
user automatically got added to al copies of my mdw's.  I want to remove the
user i added.

Thanks

First there are a few questions you may need to answer:
What version of the database are you using?

What level of security was applied to the database?

Are you able to identify the mdw file used?

Have you tried restoring the default work group, which is system.mdw?

These are important questions before you proceed.

See my response in the other thread.  You need to join your system.mdw that
shipped with Access.
