Missing System.mdw

[McFestoe]

I have move a db on to another pc which has access running another db, i have had this working before but since moving it to another pc one of the access applications runs fine but any other is coming up with a error "couldn't find system.mdw, this file is required for startup"

Any ideas

Manually reach the mdw for the databases that aren't connected to it.

Thanks for the replie, does every db need a system.mdw or is one enough. Not shure how this has happened so how should i stop from happening again.

Any db with restricted access for certains users needs a mdw, but yes, every access database has a original mdw called system.mdw that logs you has admin with access.... you can edit it, but by default it sould reach in a microsoft office folder.... (this is a big issue if you create a protection and you can reach it just by changing the mdw....)

There is no protection on the db, it is just a striaght db with antbody that uses it has access to everything, this will change when its finished, we did have a company out who added a remote db thats uses access for another application and when they had done this our db wont open on this machine.

Any ideas.
