    Access 97 - Access denied!

    I had a few attempts at guessing, however, I still cannot get the database to open. I found a useful tool on www.software-gold.com (Access Password Recovery Master) that can access .mdw files to see the username and passwords contained. The two .mdw files on the users PC are blank. The user...

    Access 97 - Access denied!

    Where would the .mdw be stored? I can't find any on her network share. I can only find them on her local drive and when I choose either of them (system.mdw or systemx1.mdw) neither of them work. I don't understand how this worked last week until the contractor installed Office XP? Cheers...

    Access 97 - Access denied!

    Access security was implemented (hence why I have been trying to find the .mdw file). There are two files locally on the users PC's however neither of them allow me to open the database. Basically, when I open the database it opens with the GUI interface and then the error message 'Access...

    Access 97 - Access denied!

    Hi there, Unfortunately one of our contrators has installed Access 2002 over Access 97 and now the user cannot open her database.

    PC Freezes after login

    Have you put any new hardware in (e.g. RAM, USB devices, PCI cards)? Sounds like one of them is faulty or the driver for the device(s) is corrupt. Try testing them individually and uninstalling/reinstalling the drivers for them. Cheers, Hammertime ----------------------------- Write down...

    Outlook crashes when an email is received with an attachment

    Windows XP Compaq PC with Microsoft Office XP SP3 installed. Tried running in 'Safe Mode' which made no difference. Virus scan showed nothing and the system is not even a year old. Network guys tell me there is nothing wrong at the Exchange end. Any ideas? Cheers, Hammertime...

    Restoring network connections - SLOW!

    Sounds good, will give it a go. A colleague mentioned changing the auto network neg speed from auto to 100 full duplex and now the laptop boots however there's no logon screen, just the mouse cursor! Tried Safe Mode, no affect. Trying to do a repair using XP CD!
