Thanks for the response Immanuel.

I have used the Workgroup Administrator to join the
system.mdw file and I have set up the shortcut. Still,
however, when I enter users/groups/passwords into the
new .mdw file, they are also entered into the system.mdw
file. Any other ideas on how to "separate" these files so
they act independently?

Thanks,

Jeremy
