MS Access Forum / Security / June 2006Lost mdw files
I have several mdb files that had an associated mdw file. I cannot locate the mdw files. Is there any way to open these databases? When you created your MDW files in the first place, you should have written down all the necessary information to recreate the files from scratch.

This product (http://www.thegrideon.com/accesspass.html) seems to return the account names plus the ID's that were used to create the accounts (I've only run the un-registered version that is somewhat crippled). It *looks* like it will allow the OP to create the original users in a new MDW. But it also looks like he must buy the full version to know for sure. >The problem is that all information re users, etc., including mdw files are >missing.
