When I start up a form I get an error 3304. I moved the database to a jump drive and a different computer which does not have access to the server drives.
 
Hi boardgamer,

3304: You must enter a personal identifier (PID) consisting of at least 4 and no more than 20 characters and digits.

Is this the message you are getting? Sounds like could be a missing workgroup file (.mdw).

You can set the workgroup file by going into Tools then Options (2003and earlier) or by using code or the start up command:

"msaccess C:\DirName\DatabaseName.mdb /wrkgrp C:\DirName\WorkgroupName.mdw"

The new 2007/2010 "accdb" format does not support workgroup files though.
