MS Access Forum / Security / January 2008Secured Access 2003 Using Access 2007
Hi, I need to opened a secured DB with a new Work Group made in Access 2003 but using now Access 2007 So,...... How Can I join or open a secured Work Group (MDW) made in Access 2003 but using now Access 2007 ???????? Thank you Create a desktop shortcut with a target of "path to 2007 msaccess.exe" "path to mdb" /wrkgrp "path to mdw"  SignatureJoan Wild Microsoft Access MVP > Hi, > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > Thank you Ok , thank you very helpful !! Problem is resolved, but is it any other way to open it without using shortcuts ???????? Thank you ! Yes you can join a workgroup in 2007, providing you are using the mdb format... Database Tools...Administer...Users and Permissions or from code Docmd.RunCommand acCmdWorkgroupAdministrator SignatureJoan Wild Microsoft Access MVP > Ok , thank you very helpful !! > > Problem is resolved, but is it any other way to open it without using > shortcuts ???????? > > Thank you ! Thank you Joan ! With Access 2003 I can create a new Work Group and change (join) another Work Group very easily by code or by Menu>> Tools >>> etc... With Access 2007 I understand that is possible to change by code, but,........ .................I do Not think is possible to change (JOIN) to another Work Group from Menu >> Database Tools >> Administer Am I right ??????? Regards I don't have 2007 loaded, but my understanding is that you can join another workgroup - you must be using the mdb format (not the default accdb format). SignatureJoan Wild Microsoft Access MVP > Thank you Joan ! > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > Regards Sorry but I do not think is possible, because Does Not shows any possible button option on the Access menu. You can Not join another WorkGroup using the mdb format, because on : Menu >> Database Tools >> Administer , Does Not shows the menu, any possible option to join or create a new WorkGroup. Only possible to do it thought the Security assistant (User Level Security Wizard) , but Not directly like Access 2003 Anyway thank you again for you replay I'm under the impression you can use workgroup security (using the /wrkgrp command line switch), but not create it. Guys, the writing is on the wall. If you want to secure your Access / Jet app, better use a different approach. Me, I'm going to check membership of groups in Active Directory. -Tom. >I don't have 2007 loaded, but my understanding is that you can join another workgroup - you must be using the mdb format (not the default accdb format). I assume you've seen what Microsoft has to say at http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/guidance/clientsecurity/2007office/def ault.mspx There's also another alternative at http://www.utteraccess.com/forums/showflat.php?Board=81&Number=1540366 SignatureDoug Steele, Microsoft Access MVP http://I.Am/DougSteele (no private e-mails, please) > I'm under the impression you can use workgroup security (using the > /wrkgrp command line switch), but not create it.
