Need Help Adding user lvl Security to 2007 versionI have a DB created in MSA 2003 with the user lvl security setup for my 7
users. But one of my users has MSA 2007 version. I am used to going to tools security and selecting the security file. but how do you do that through MSA 2007 in order to get the user logon screen to show up? You do the same thing you're doing with every other version of Access with
user level security. (Aren't you?) You give the users a shortcut that joins the user to the secure db during the session. "path to msaccess.exe" "path to mdb" /wrkgrp "path to mdw" Users remain joined to the default system.mdw file so they can open any db without security and not be prompted to login - until they use the shortcut for the secure db.

You give the users a shortcut that joins the user to the secure mdw during the session before opening the db.

administatively managed by me each time i use the shortcut it says it cant find the file. i think this is because the Network Discovery and File sharing are turned off on the vista computer that is trying to connect to my xp version. any ideas?

If the pc is disconnected from the network,
the shortcut won't work if the path is *on* the network. Make sure you're connected to the network and you have permissions to the network folder before running the shortcut.

network. and then manually open the access database but then i can get the login sccreen to show up. it just goes to the default admin which i dont have permissions set for.

Use *something* to get a reliable network between the pcs and the server or it won't work.

The shortcut will look like: "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE12\MSACCESS.EXE" "c:\program files\RidesXP\RidesXP.mdb" /wrkgrp \\server1\database\\Rides.mdw So, you can (should) use a shortcut to specify the workgroup file on startup of the application...... You can use the workgroup options inside of 2007 to "join" the workgroup file, but a shortcut is better as then all other applications that the user launches will not be then nagged with a logon prompt. This advice also applies to your 2003 users...... -- Albert D. Kallal (Access MVP) Edmonton, Alberta Canada pleaseNOOSpamKallal@msn.com
