I work in a large corporation. Several of us have access
to a shared network server. We use this to share
information with each other. One of our employees left
the company and I'm trying to open one of his databases.

I have access to his shared folder but when I try to open
the database (or copy the database and then open it) I get
this message:

"The current user account doesn't have permission to
convert or enable this database"

Can someone help me, please. Thanks.

Joe
 
Hi Joe,

You'll need the related *.MDW file that was used to secure the database,
see:

I hope this helps! If you have additional questions on this topic, please
