Kathy,
No, but you should join workgroups only while working in those applications
that require them. Create a shortcut to a secured database. Right-click the
shortcut, and select Properties. In the Target field, enter the following:
"path to msaccess.exe" "path to database.mdb" /wrkgrp "path to mdw"
Make sure to enter the exact paths. Click OK. Then double-click the
shortcut, and you'll see the database's Login dialog appear. Enter your
username and password, and that's it - you're in.
Repeat this process for all secured databases.
