Access 2000 conversion and .mdw issues

[RubberChicken]

Hi all

I have inherited an Access 2000 database and now everyone in the office is on access 2013 I had to convert the old database to 2013.

Everything seems to be working as expected but I have an issue with people using it that are not assigned to the user-level security tables in the old 2000 database.

I need to know what to do about this (unfortunately) outdated security feature.
Ideally I still want to have people logging in as I need to record their actions against their usernames but I have no idea how to get round the issue.

I have done a few web searches and I am going round in circles trying to figure it out.

I'd be very grateful of any advice you guys and gals can offer.

I have also posted this question in Access-Programmers.co.uk but haven't had any responses.

Many thanks

The new versions of Access do not support that old-style level of security.

If you just need to get and record their usernames for transactions they make, you can capture their Windows usernames in VBA code as shown in this link: How to get logged-in user's name in Access vba? - Stack Overflow

I have used this methodology successfully before.

Thanks, Joe.
I will have a look at that.
