Login dialog box on creation of new DB?
Hello, experts,
I'm on a new PC in a new company and am running into something I've never seen before. The OS is Win2K, Access version is Access2K.
I start Access, then cancel out of the open dialog box. I click on the New DB button on the toolbar and try to create a vanillia flavored DB in My Documents (db1.mdb). When I click the create button a Login dialog box appears. It puts my user name in the Name: field and then asks me to enter the password. The title in the title bar is simply "Logon". I haven't a clue as to what is going on. I already have administrator rights on this PC.

JonoBB, I found the shortcut you referred to, when I run it it shows me a dialog box that has Name & Company blank with the Workgroup set at C:\PROGRA~1\COMMON~1\Syste m\SYSTEM.M DW. There's this paragraph that explains my options. I have three options available to me, Create, Join or Exit.
So I should rename this system.mdw file and then reboot?

Yup, try that and see what happens
You should probably Exit as well...otherwise its going to look for the system.mdw file that isnt there anymore
Check on a PC that does not exhibit this behaviour - go to Tools->Security->Workgroup
