In MS Access, has anyone run into the situation where no matter what you do (including a full fresh Office install), trying to create a new database or open an MDB that is not password protected in Access results in a password prompt for no apparent reason? Sure seems to be related to the instance of Access and not an MDB file... I remember this from a few versions (and PCs) ago and found something about deleting a registry key or three at the time, but cannot seem to find mention of that any more (nor can I figure out which keys they were)...... - Don --------------------------------- Yahoo!
