Debugging Tips

To open secured SBCM data, the database needs to have been created without a password and Microsoft Access must be installed on the machine. Use the following command line:

pathAccess pathSbcmMdb /wkrgrp pathDatabase /user UserId
    /pwd Password /decompile /cmd Start;Password

pathAccess   The full path to Microsoft Access, usually "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\msaccess.exe."

pathSbcmMdb   The full path to the SBCM data, usually "C:\Windows\Profiles\All Users\Application Data\sbt\sbcm\sbcm.mdb."

pathDatabase   The full path to the workgroup information file for the SBCM data, for example, "C:\winnt\Profiles\All Users\Application Data\sbt\databases\NorthWind Traders Sample Company.mdw"

UserId   The user's login name, and Password is the user's login password.

Use double quotes for arguments in the command line containing spaces, semicolons, slashes, and so forth.

Here is the complete command line for opening the sample database:

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\msaccess.exe"
    "C:\Windows\Profiles\All Users\Application Data\sbt\sbcm\sbcm.mdb"
    /wrkgrp "C:\Windows\Profiles\All Users\Application
    Data\sbt\databases\NorthWind Traders Sample Company.mdw" /user
    "username" /pwd "" /decompile /cmd Start;""

An instance of Microsoft Access will run and you can select a database. Select the database corresponding to the *.mdw file in the command line. This will open the database and allow you to look at the data and verify it.
