Using Same WorkGroup File for Multiple DB's

I have a Access 2k database that uses it's own Workgroup
Information File (MySecured.mdw) and everything works
perfectly.

The question I have is, How do you create a new database
and have it use the same Workgroup File or is that
possible??

Thanks,

Xcelsoft

If you open Access while using a specific Workgroup file then ANY database
you create in that session will use that same workgroup file. Remember
that when you are not "using" security you are still using a workgroup file
(the default System.mdw). So a person who builds hundreds of databases and
never attempts to secure any of them is using the same workgroup file for
all of them (System.mdw). The same thing applies if you create hundreds of
files using a secure workgroup.
