    Security Logon to database

    When Microsoft Access is installed on your PC a default Workgroup Information File (System.mdw) is created. By default MS-Access uses this file to login Users (silently) while attempting to open a database. The default UserID is Admin and the Login Dialog Box will not appear until you set a Password for the Admin User. There are other Security issues if you continue to use this default Workgroup Information File.

    Create a separate Workgroup Information database (with .mdw extension) on a common location on the Server accessible to other Users of your Applications. You can do this by running the Wrkgadm.exe from the language folder (C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\1033). 1033 is US English folder, for MS-Office 2000. In MS-Access 2003 run this program from Tools - ->Security - ->Workgroup Administrator...

    Each User must run this program from their PCs and Join this common Workgroup Information database. You can implement Access Rights to each UsersGroup/User.

    Remember, this file contains only the UserId, PersonalID and passwords of Users and UserGroups. Permission settings are stored directly on the Database.
