NeoPa,
I've checked my system path and it was not modified by this application, no system.mdw file exists in the application installation directory (only one level) so it appears to be using the default system.mdw file.
If that is the case then the .mdw is not being used in any way for security.
Not sure what else to say on this matter of the system.mdw. By using the AccessFix application it was able to access...

NeoPa,
I'm not confused, the profile specified is NOT a file, but registry settings! I previously described the registry contents above, here are the Keys (without detail values):
Clipboard Formats: Default / HTML / ASP / Excel / IIS / Txt / RTF
Jet Options: Too many to describe here
Report Formats: Default / HTML / Excel / Txt / RTF / Snapshot Format
RunTime Options: Default / App Help File / Icon / StartupScreen...Leave a comment:

Update,
I tried an OEM software called AccessFix and it showed all the tables, record counts, etc... it did not ask for passwords and looked very hopefull.
Unfortunately the license fee is $199, so it is just too steep for me. But it gives me hope that either a lower cost share ware, or lots of personal work may get my data out.

NeoPa,
In registry under Computer/HKEY_LOCAL_MACH INE/SOFTWARE/Wow6432Node/Microsoft/AccessRuntime/8.0/Profiles is an entry for the profile name and the value given is the path under ..../Wow6432Node for the manufacturer.
Profiles are used to override 'standard' settings such as: Clipboard Formats, Report Formats, AppHelp File, Icon, Startup Screen, Titlebar and Speller options.
I've tried all combinations of...Leave a comment:

Rabbit,
Ok I double checked and initially I did clear the 0x18th byte, redid it and double clicked and it is asking for a password now...
but previous password finder did not turn up a password...

NeoPa,
getting back to the profile bit, not real up on it and I also see some info in the registry.
I understand that a profile overrides profile parameters and such, but did not think that it was used for security -what/how is a profile used in this manner?

Luuk,
Think that it is either 97 or 2002.
Rabbit,
zeroed out those bytes and access says "unrecogniz ed format"

Luuk,
I purchased a password extractor and it did not find a password associated with the files.
NeoPa,
I assumed that it was workgroup security, but since the app works and there is no apparent .mdw file I assume that the workgroup security settings may be passed from inside the code. Does that sound correct?

unable to extract data from .mdb
Guys,
Years ago I purchased an application, it has both an .mde and an .mdb file. I know that the code is in the .mde file and I don't care about it, but I need to extract the database tables from the .mdb file.
I've tried opening it and it says "That the user does not have permission to convert or enable this database".
I have tried linking to the tables and same issue.
Again I don't want anything...Last edited by NeoPa; May 31 '14, 12:25 PM. Reason: This should all be in a single post so I've made that happen for you.
