I havent used access for years but now have a position where I need to use
it again. I am using Access from Office XP and have some old databases on
disk that I saved so I could refer back to how I did things. Problem is
when I try and open it, I get an error saying I dont have any privaleges or
access rights to open it. These user accounts etc no longer exist on the
system I used, and I cant remember what they were! The company I did it for
doesnt even exist now!

Can anyone advise me at to how I can open the database?

thanks in advance
Julie
