HELP!!! Access 2007 and .mdw

[Guest]

I need to open an Access 2003 secured database (with workgroup, users, etc)
in Access 2007 but I can't find the join workgroup command to attach the
database to the .mdw file on my computer!

The pre-release version (Office 12) had it and I know microsoft's moving
away from it in Office 2007 but how can I get around it and open previously
secured files?????

I receive the well known msg : "You don't have the necessary permission
to..."

Any ideas on how I can get around this?

Hi, Sam.

Please don't multipost. This question has already been answered in another

You need to create a desktop shortcut that opens Access 2007 and specifies
the mdw using the /wrkgrp switch. The target looks like
"path to msaccess.exe" "path to mdb" /wrkgrp "path to mdw"
