Workgroup file (system.mdw) problem

I recently created a workgroup for an access database and it works
fine. But I have other versions of that same database (beta copies)
for which I didn't create that workgroup file. They have different
names than the first DB for which I made the workgroup.
But even when I open those beta copies it still launches the workgroup
file (system.mdw) and prompts me to login. What do I need to do to
revert these changes and go back to the unsecured version of my
database?

Thanks in advance,

Angelo

You probably made your custom workgroup the default one. Locate a
program called wrkgadm.exe, and switch back to the system.mdw you were
on before (probably in windows\system)
