Trying to make my database (access 2003) more secure I start with making a
Workgroup Information File. When I want to open the database to add users I
am told that I do not have the permission to open it and seek advice from the
administrator who is me?? How come??

You need to join your new workgroup. Either use the workgroup administrator
(tools, security menu) or use a shortcut with a command line in the format:

"full path to msaccess.exe" "full path to mdb" /wrkgrp "full path to secure
mdw"

including the quotation marks. You will then be prompted for your username
and password if you've set one up.
