Hi,

First sorry for my english, it isn't perfect ;-)

I've a big problem, perhaps someone could help me... I've to backup
some data in a Access database to insert into a SQL database. The
problem is that de Access files are locked into security. I'll explain
you the schema.

I've many .mdb files which contain the data, and there are associated
to a .mdw file. When I try to open directly the mdb files this error
message is shown :

"L'utilisateur en cours n'est pas autorisé à activer ou convertir
cette base de données"

and I can't open de database.

I've got an exe application that allow to launche the differents
databases. This exe add some parameters to open files like these :

/wrkgrp c:\myFolder\mySecondFolder\myFileName.mdw

When I open the mdb file with these parameters the database open but a
login and a password is requiered.

This application was used before by any users and they give me the
login and the password they remember but when I try to connect with
these data, Access said me that or the login either the password isn't
correct. Whe have tried with many logins and passwords that could be,
but nothing to do.


I've too tried to break the password of the mdb file with some
software on the web, but no password is associated to the file. The
security is only managed with this .mdw file.

I hope my explanations are ok.

Could I break this .mdw file to open the database? How could I open
these files? Could someone help me please? it's very important and
urgent.

thanks

Have you tried simply creating a new .mdb and importing
(do not link to) the tables in the restricted files?
 
Hello,

yes I've tried to do this but in some databases I can import only some
tables and query (not all, not forms, not macros) and other databases
I can't import nothing

Thanks for help
