NO - you don't get the mdw off of the cd!

What is needed is the actual mdw that is used when launching the shortcut to get into the mdb.

The shortcut will have properties like this:
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\MSACCESS.EXE" "c:\SomeFolder\SomeMDB.mdb" /wrkgrp "C:\SomeFolder\System.mdw"
or
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\MSACCESS.EXE" "c:\SomeFolder\SomeMDB.mdb" /wrkgrp "C:\SomeFolder\MyMDWName.mdw"

Any other mdw other than the actual mdw (i.e. the one located in C:\SomeFolder\MyMDWName.mdw for the 2nd example above) is worthless. I'll take a look at the one you've supplied in the zip.
