Re: multiple mdws

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

I beg to differ. I did follow all the steps. Somehow MS Access defaults to
the system.mdw that's on the local drive. It would be nice if you had some
suggestions as to the cause of the problem, instead of blank statements that
I didn't read the instructions carefully.

I would be nice if Microsoft produced a better product without having to go
SQL Server.
