When I try to open a new blank database or download a
database template I get the followin error message:
"Workgroup Administrator couldn't create the workgroup
information file. Make sure that you have specified a
valid path and file name, that you have adequate
permissions to create the file and that you have enough
disk space on the destination file (-3100)"
The second one is "Microsoft Office Access couldn't find
file *&^%$##$!@(weird webdings. This file is required for
startup."
Now this is my home pc and I'm running XP Home and I have
permission cause Im the only one and I have plenty of disk
space.
What am I missing or doing wrong??
Thank you!!
 
Goto tools-security-workgroup administrator. See what the
file name is for your workgroup. Check to see if this
file exists. If not, then create a workgroup file. If it
already exists, then try joining to the workgroup file.
Both of these are accomplished under tools-security-
workgroup administrator.
