Microsoft Access uses by default the Workgroup Information File system.mdw. The workgroup information file is an indispensable component when you use a Microsoft Access database (MDB). This file is an essential component of Microsoft Access security.

In the case of Medical Database 'Seven", Microsoft Access reads the Workgroup Information File Seven.mdw when opening the CodeMD.mde (application database) or DataMD.mdb (Data database), to determine who is allowed to access objects in the databases and which permissions they have to these objects. Microsoft Access reads this file at startup.

You must identify yourself at start-up by entering a valid user account name and password. You can find user accounts and default passwords in Readme file in the application directory (usually C:\MDbaseSeven). You must change the default passwords and store your own in a safe location. Do not lose them!!Finally backup your Seven.mdw.

How to change Default User passwords in Workgroup Information File:

1. Start Medical Database Seven.
2. Logon as Super Administrator (default director).





3. On the Tools menu, point to Security, and then click User and Group Accounts.
4. On the Users page, select the a User Name ...

6. In the New Password and the Verify text boxes, type the new password , and then click OK.

8. Copy the Seven.mdw in application directories across your network.
