Our company computers were recently upgraded to Windows XP with
Microsoft Office 2003. We have 3 different Access Databases (in
different directories on our network) which all require the user to be
part of a "Workgroup" . It appears that Access 2003 includes some added
security features that prevent the user from accessing a database
unless you join the workgroup corresponding to the database. This works
fine, unless you need to join multiple workgroups. For example, to log
into database "x" you must join the "x" workgroup, and then to
log into database "y" you must join the "y" workgroup each time
you attempt to open it. So far, we have figured out how to join one
workgroup, but not many at the same time. We would greatly appreciate
it if anybody had advice regarding this issue.

Easiest way is to use shortcuts, rather than joining the workgroup.
<full path to msaccess.exe> <full path to database> /wrkgrp <full path to
workgroup file>

Easy, just modify the shortcut used to call up each database to include
the specific workgroup file you are using for it...
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office 2000\Office\MSA CCESS.EXE"
"C:\folder\Fron tEnd.mdb" /wrkgrp "F:\sharedfolde r\MyNewWorkgrou p.mdw"

Is there some way of using vba to automate the processe of joining an
Access 97 security workgroup? I typed wrkgadm /? at a command prompt
and it just opens the gui, so I'm not sure what the parameters are for
the command or whether there really are any command line switches for
it. Thank you in advance.

I have developed two separate dbases using Access 2002. Each has
their own workgroup specifications. On each users desktop I created a
shortcut to the front end dbase and with the appropriate workgroup:
Path of shortcut is:
"locationofMSACCESS.EXE" "locationoffrontend.mdb" /wrkgrp
"locationofworkgroup.mdw"

After some basic research, I am still somewhat unclear on how Access would
be used in a workgroup setting. Basically, we want to run 10 MS Access
clients to access an MS Access database on a standalone PC running Windows
XP Pro. Do we need SQL server or some other application running on this
"server"?
We need to have
1) multiple people accessing the database simultaneous (should be no
concerns about who saves first)

Hi,
I have a problem in getting Access 2002 to read my workgroup file.
I've created different groups and users and when the db is opened the
user is prompted to enter a username and password which seems to be
working perfectly on my PC.
However, when someone else on a different computer opens this db on
the shared network the user is no longer asked to enter their username
and password and they are logged on as the default admin user.

I recently created a workgroup for an access database and it works
fine. But I have other versions of that same database (beta copies)

But even when I open those beta copies it still launches the workgroup

The format is 2000, created using 2002, it is still in development.
There is a workgroup file that determines permissions, users login
The workgroup and database are located on a network where users gain access to the database through one shortcut that runs the database using the same workgroup file. (this appears to work fine, users login) This is in place to keep users from gaining access to forms, reports and certain features.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows.
