MSAccess Workgroup AdministatorI want to be able to run the MSAccess Workgroup Administator without logging
onto my machine as an administrator. There are some folders being used for the MSAccess Workgroup Administator that I need rights to and I can't figure out which ones they are. When I am logged onto my machine as a regular user and I try to run the MSAccess Workgroup Administator, I get an "Access Denied" message. To which folder on my machine am I being denied access ??? Thanks! What version of Windows and Access?

Run...wrkgadm.exe If you do a search on your computer for that file you'll find the location where it exists.

I forget which registry keys the workgroup administrator updates, but
you might find that non-administrative windows users do not have access to those keys. Try it & see. If it fails with registry access errors, you may need to set appropriate (wider) permissions on the key(s) in question. To find the key in question, search the registry for references to the pathfilename of the current default workgroup file. HTH, TC
