Cannot find the default system.mdw in Access 2003

Barry Edmund Wright

Help!

Can anyone tell me where the default system.mdw is located?

I made a new Workgroup Information File and joined it now I want to join
rejoin the default system.mdw file but I can't find it.

I did a search on the entire harddrive for system.mdw and it returned
nothing.

Thanks
Barry

On my system it is at...

C:\Program Files\Common Files\System\Sy stem.mdw

By default the file-search tool might ignore system areas.

Thanks, I have Xp and that was where it was but for some reason it was
renamed to System1.mdw so me search of the drive didn't find it.

Interesting. I have XP as well so I wonder why the location is inconsistent.
Possibly because I have four different versions installed?

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
