I had a crash on my machine which meant a rebuild
unfortunately. I have restored my database, but did not
keep a copy of the statup options I was using on a
hortcut, so that I could enter the database as the
administrator with full access.

Can anyone give me the sytax i will need to use?

Cheers

Hi,

My name is Amy Vargo. Thank you for using the Microsoft Access Newsgroups.

If this is a secured database, you will need to use the /wrkgrp switch to
point to the workgroup file to join to when you open the file.
To do so, right-click on the shortcut and view the target line. Edit the
targetline as follows, using your file names and paths.


"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office10\msaccess.exe"
"C:\MyDatabase\Northwind.mdb" /wrkgrp "C:\MyDatabase\Secured.mdw"

You should be prompted for the username and password and can start the
database from this shortcut.

I also included a link to an article that lists various command line
switches.

I hope this helps! If you have additional questions on this topic, please
respond back to this posting.
