Re: permissions to import after a new workgroup file?

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry


Thank you both for your replies. I'm not sure how the default mdw got
altered. I did make some changes along the way but I was pretty
conscious of making sure I didn't veer too far from default.

I tried getting default mdw's from other systems but this didn't let me
do the import. I also tried creating a new "specific workgroup" but
this didn't work either. I'm probably missing something here but have
yet to figure it out.

One thing I did notice was that the owner of the database is unknown.
Does this affect my ability to get the objects from this database? I
tried opening the database with different mdw's but I couldn't change
the owner - the option is disabled.

Graham, that's a really neat tool. I'd like to look a bit more into it
but I'm not sure right now how it applies. I haven't had a chance to
read the documentation yet. I'm sure that would help.

Thanks again for your time,

miky
