I posted the previous message. In addition to it I
currently have several groups in the security. It will
not allow me to do anything. I can not add any users or
groups or delete them.. I then tried to run the security
wizzard and it tells me i am not allowed to perform this
because I am not a member of the admis. However it never
ask me to sign it. Again what I need to do is to start
over. Can I do this or how can I make it were I can put
security in place. The database is to be put on a
intranet in a hospital and I need it were only certain
people can access it and then only a select number of
those can input data, make changes etc.
 
Try finding and rejoing the system.mdw workgroup. Do a file search on your
computer to locate the file, and also to find the Workgroup Administrator
file (wrkgadm.exe). You did not properly implement security, and you should
be able to easily recover your file.

Next, download and read-read-read the MS Access Security FAQ (there's a
section title "Desecuring your Database" which would be of immediate value
to you). Access User Lever Security is a complex and tricky beast; simply
running the security wizard is a sure way to get yourself confused!! But
take heart, it can be done. Practice on a COPY of your database, then post
back here with specific questions.
