Viewing an mde file

[bevans1]

I,m having problems looking at an mde file copied from another machine....Itsays that i don't have the right permissions to view the database.

I have copies of the WRKGADM.exe from the users machine...
How do I create myself the proper permissions to view this mde file?

Thanks

The purpose of a properly defined MDE is to keep users, programmers, designers, etc out. The fact that you have the correct mdw file will not help since the MDE will not allow you to directly access it,

You need the MDB file. If you can’t get it, you don’t get to change anything.
