As a follow-up to a previous post (again, my thanks to those that suggested things), I decided to purchase Access Password from thegrideon.com and was able to recover user names, passwords, and IDs from an Access application written by someone who passed away and left no documentation.
I'm a beginner to user-level security and I've only ever written databases for limited and special use, and not a lot of them at that, so the ins and outs of ULS is foreign. I'm pursuing information on the subject on-line, but I'd like to ask a simple question: now that I have user information, do those users need to exist on the Windows system I'm using or do they exist somewhere within Access? Also, the IDs I've recovered, are they the 'workgroup' these users need to belong to, and are those Windows workgroups?
Thanks.
