Can not make a system.mdw |
|---|
| message from redburns@ameritech.net on 26 May 2004 |
I wanted to create a new database or open one I made at
the office in Access 2002, an error popped up. Workgroup
Administrator couldn't create the workgroup information
file. Make sure that you have specified a valid path and
file name, that you have adequate permissions to create
the file, and that you have enough disk space on the
destination disk. (-3100). So I tried manually creating
the system.mdw in Access. But the file was still unable
to be created. I tried the Access Workgroup Administrator
program by join and create a new one. It will not save
it. I repaired the program, deleted all temp directory
and any old files, reinstall the program four times .Word,
PowerPoint and Excel is running perfectly. Everything
seems fine when I done the installation. Also I tried
Microsoft Knowledge Base Article 282357. ACC2002: ERROR
MESSAGES WHEN YOU CONVERT WORKGROUP INFORMATION (.MDW)
FILE TO ACCESS 2002.
Thank you

You don't mention the version of windows, but does this happen when you log
on as an administrator?
It could be a permissions problem on the folder where it's trying to create
the workgroup file.

What can I do, to solve this problem. Do I have to
reformat?

The Search results came back with C:\Documents and
Settings\HOME USER\Application Data\Microsoft\Access\. If
I create a file, I can not find the folder. Also, In
Explore, it does not show! I have C:\Documents and
Settings\ALL USER and I have C:\Documents and
Settings\HOME USER and in my HOME USER I have COOKIES,
DESKTOP, FAVORITES, MY DOCUMENTS, START MENU, USERDATA AND
WINDOWS. If I try to make a folder called C:\Documents
and Settings\HOME USER\Application Data\. It comes back
and says: A file with the name you specified already
exists. Specify a different file name. Please help!

it's because it's a hidden folder
open explorer/tools/folder options/view & change "hidden files and folders"
to "show hidden files and folders"
%USERPROFILE%\Application Data in the address bar of explorer (or start/run)

OK, so you've made progress. You now get a message indicating the
successfully joined workgroup.
Use Start, Search, Files and Folders, and locate all *.mdw files on the
computer to locate it.
