How do you use a Security Wizard Report?

A co-worker accidently applied Security settings to a
database file. She did create a "One-step Security Wizard
Report" which has a bunch of info about Workgroup IDs,
User names, Personal IDs, Passwords, etc.

However, I cannot figure out how to use the information
to get into the database (and she can't get in anymore
either). It gives everyone who tries to get in the
error "You do not have the necessary permission to use
the [file name] object. Have your system administrator or
the person who created this object establish the
appropriate permissions for you."

Does anyone know what to do with this information so we
can open the database and remove these security settings?
 
Hi Juliana,

It sounds as if you are not using the correct WorkGroup Information File
when opening the database file. Check the Security Wizard Report to see
what's the name of the "*.MDW" file.

Once found create a shortcut to open your database file as follows:

"C:\ <full path to the file MsAccess.exe>" "<fulll path to *.MDB file>"
/wrkgrp "<full path to *.MDW file>"

I hope this helps! If you have additional questions on this topic, please
respond back to this posting.

Now I get the error: "Cound not open 'MSysAccounts' in
the workgroup information file.

Any other suggestions?

That message usually comes up when you try to open a converted database.
Was this database in a prior version and converted to a later one?
