Mr. T.

Have a database written in Access 95, when trying to open
it I get the following message. " You do not have the
necessay permissions to use the f:\?????.mdb object.
Have your system administrator or the person who created
this object establish the appropriate permissions for
you. It was my data base copied from my old PC to new PC.
Is there any way to open this Access Database?
 
You need to copy the workgroup information file as well. This will normally
have an MDW extension. If the old PC has several of those, copy them all, so
you can see which one(s) will work.

Then, on the new PC, start the database by using a shrotcut of the following
form - all in one line:

"full path to MSACCESS.EXE"
"full path to MDB file"
/wkgrp "full path to MDW file"

Repeat for different MDW files (copied from the old PC), until you find the
one(s) that work.

HTH,
TC

Is this the syntax in Access 2000? I get an error message that it doesn't recognize the command line option. Let me know. Thanks!
 
Post the full text of the "target" line of your shortcut.

The one I am using that worked is:

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\MSACCESS.EXE" "N:\User\DATAPROC\DATABASE\Computer Equipment.mdb" /wrkgrp"C:\PROGRAM FILES\MICROSOFT OFFICE\OFFICE\1033\SYSTEM.MDW"
 
Do you have a space after /wrkgrp? (before "C:...")
