According to microsoft.com, the wrkgadm.exe (workegroup administrator) is
supposed to be located in a certain directory on my system, but it is not
there. Using explorer and searching for wrkgadm.exe results in no finds.

Can anyone tell me where this file is? Or does it no longer exist in access
2003?

It's no longer a separate file. It's embedded within Access 2003. Open
Access and select the Tools -> Security -> Workgroup Administrator menu.

Thank you 69 Camaro:

My next question, is there a separate version of wrkgadm.exe which one can
use to create workgroup administration files (.mdw) that will be compatible
with those made via Access 2003?

There isn't a separate application, but one can create a new workgroup file
using the Application.CreateNewWorkgroupFile( ) procedure. The syntax is as
follows:

Sub CreateNewWorkgroupFile([Path As String = " "], [Name As String = " "],
[Company As String = " "], [WorkgroupID As String = " "], [Replace As
Boolean = False])

If the code is executed in Access 2003 and the default database format is
2002-2003, then it will create an Access 2003 workgroup information file.
However, even if the default format is Access 2000, it will still be
compatible with Access 2003.
