I am working a work book named Step by Step for Access at home. I want to
turn off the request for a password. Everytime I open Access it has a logon
and a Passord request. As a result everything I save at home and use at the
office will not let me in.

UserID and PAssword is tied to your workgroup file. Either change your
password to space, or join the default workgoup instead of your secured
workgroup.

Rick,
Did you mean change the password to BLANK?

Thanks, how do I turn off the workgroup file. I do not need it?

You can't "turn off a workgroup file". You are always using one. Just use
the MS Workgroup Administrator to rejoin the "system.mdw" newsgroup. Or,
open the fiel as you've been doing and then change the admin password to
blank. Then, you will no longer be promted to enter a password.
