Are you sure it's an AMAG 3500? or a 350?
-Multinode-II panels or microNodes?

Sounds like the multimax.exe may be pooched... Do you still have the install
CD's?

If Windows ever tells you that you don't have security privileges to do
something, you aren't logged on under the Administrator account. ...OR the
database file itself has security enabled and you aren't giving the correct
password (.mdb files won't prompt you for it; you have it set up already in
Access)... Good luck getting that password from AMAG... On the other hand,
there may be a file you can search for that will crack the password for
you... I have a file to do that, but it only works on Word and Excel files,
not Access.

Not trying to be snotty, but this is exactly what happens when security is
pushed to the rear and not constantly updated.
