Author Importing MS Access data

Is there a way to run a DTS package to import Access data when the MDB has
an associated MDW file? I have a valid username and password, but I can't
open the MDB within DTS . I can open the MDB, export the data to an
unprotected MDB, then import the data from that, but I'd rather use the root
file.

Why can you not open the MDB in DTS? I assume you get an error, and
supplying details does help.

Have you set the MDW in the advaned property "System database"?

You may also need to set it in the registry -

Thanks Darren, that works. I'm not an Access guy.
P.S. I didn't need to make a registry entry.
