Hi Everyone,

I have created a small access database and have encrypted it. This has now created the following files from the one original database:

Skills.bak (13mb)
Skills (Microsoft Access App) 872kb
Skills.mdb (3kb)
Secured (Workgroup Information File) 144kb

I can only access the skills.mdb file which opens the encrypted database. If I try to open say, skills (Microsoft Access App), it returns with a user access error.

I cannot seem to move the file, and need to unencrypt the database so that the db can be put on a server but it errors if I copy the above files to a server.

Could anybody explain to me how I can unencrypt this database and start again?

Many thanks,

D
