I tried to create a workgroup through the user-level security wizard, but now
that I tried to open the database a message box displays "you do not have the
necessary permissions to use the '.mdb' object" and I deleted the files that
were created as soon as the wizard finished by mistake. Any help will be
greatly appreciated.
 
You don't mention the version, but check the folder where the mdb is (was?) located. You may find a file with a bak extension. That is a backup of the mdb before it was secured. Rename it to have a mdb extension - you should be able to open it.

You received the permission message, because you were trying to open the secure mdb while using the wrong mdw file. The wizard would have created a desktop shortcut to use to open the secure mdb.
