Has anyone had any experience in administering an Access workgroup file from
within VB 2005 or VB.Net ? I appreciate the direction.
Thanks

Although I have no experience with that in .Net, I guess that the
easiest way will be through the DAO library (a COM component).
Set the SystemDB property of the DBEngine object to the path of your
workgroup file and then use the CreateWorkspace method to "log in" as
a member of the admins group and manage Users and Groups through the
collections of the workspace object.
 
Thanks Wolfgang....
I appreciate the response... I'll give it a whirl. Sad part is in VB6
this can be done in 5 minutes.

Hello Paul.

Just add the reference to the COM library (DAO).
Then, why should it take longer than the 5 minutes in VB6?
