Hi Nick, The bad news is that their database workgroup security very nearly is unbreakable. Best bet is www.elcomsoft.com, their decrypting software is brilliant, and so is the price. For anything but Access, their product is better than anything else I've used.

It tells me "The current user account doesn't have permission to convert or enable this database". Microsoft said they couldn't help me because they claim their security isw unbreakable but you and I both know nothing is unbreakable. Anyone have any suggestions?
