I hope someone can help me with this problem.

My wizard created user names/passwords weren't recognized for my Database1.

So, I read through the forum suggestions, and renamed my system.mdb. Then,
when I restarted my PC, a new system.mdb appeared, so I joined the new mdb
and deleted the renamed one.

The names/passwords do appear to work now for Database1. However, when I
open other databases on a server and on my hard drive, I'm prompted for a
Name/Password. Only when I enter my admin password, am I able to access the
other databases (although my admin password doesn't work on my Database1- go
figure).

I'd appreciate any suggestions.
Thanks!

Corrrection... I meant I renamed my system.mdw to system1.mdw before having
Access create a new default system.mdw.

Okay, I figured out what happened. I had a password assigned to my admin
profile, so when I blanked out the password (as suggested by Lynn Trapp in
another thread), I no longer get the password prompt when opening other
databases.

So, I don't need assistance after all. I wish all problems were this easy
to figure out :)
