hi thanks for the reply... the thing is i did/know this already..

my problem is :
--- the mdb file is linked to a workgroup (mdw file) and that's where the password protect is located... what this UT download does is crack the password of the mdb file (assuming that the mdb file is linked to the systems' workgroup file--mdw).. my problem is my mdb file is linked to a "created" mdw file....

thanks
