Access password security model

[Ben]

Hi all -

I am interested in learning more about the Access security model
2000/2003 and 2007. Where user can password protect the project source
code ...etc. I see there are a lot of third party tools to help with
forgotten passwords and such.

I am interested in learning more about it. Can you please share some of
your thoughts and links?

Thanks in advance,

Ben

Just google it; you'll find tons of stuff out there:

Also, you can convert the MDB to an MDE:

I'll tell you from experience, Access security is a bit better than Excel
security and Word security, but all security features in all office apps can
be disable pretty easily if you know what you're doing. Something like a
..NET Add-In, pointing to Access would be pretty-good-security (PGS).

HTH,
