The problem arises on machines where users have Access 97 and XP
installed. When the user opens Access XP, 97 loses it's membership to
the network based mdw file that it was joined to earlier and defaults
to the winnt/system32/system.mdw file the next time Access 97 is
opened. I'm just trying to automate the whole gui process of the user
bringing up the dialog box and browsing to the network mdw in order to
join the workgroup and want to make some kind of batch file where the
user just clicks on a desktop icon without going through the
additional steps of joining. I can't figure out what the parameters
are to the wrkgadm.exe file. Thanks in advance for help.

The workgroup file is selected (by whatever means) *before* the database
starts to execute its startup code. So there is no way to use VBA to choose
the workgroup file that will be used for the database from which the VBA is
running.

news:d7**************************@posting.google.c om... 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.
