Remove Security from Access database

I have a Microsoft Access 2003 database with security enabled with a security.mdw file. I would like to remove all security, delete the mdw file and covert to 2016 Access if possible.

There is a similar question that was posted here a while ago but the link to the answer is broken.

any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks
Bob

Thank you very much. I exported everything to a new blank database

Yes, just converting to the accdb format is all that is needed.

   Workgroup level security is stripped out with the ACE format.
