I was provided a database that requires linking to the system.mdw file. 
Would someone please explain how to do this as the database is protected and
cannot be opened until this is accomplished.  Thank you.

Presumably they also provided you with the necessary mdw file.  If it's
secured then you'll need that.  Create a desktop shortcut that points to the
this mdw file.

The target would have
"path to msaccess.exe" "path to secure mdb" /wrkgrp "path to secure mdw"
