Autoexec macro stored on backend - potential problem?

I'm having a problem with users opening the back end instead of the front end
of my database. As I am scared to death to implement Access security, I was
thinking of having a message box alert the user when he has opened the back
end. Can anyone foresee a problem with having an autoexec macro stored in
the back end of the database? (Sorry if this is a really dumb question...)

Thanks.

I'm assuming you're talking about a macro that pops up a message box, then
shuts down the database after the user responds to the message box.

I've never had any problems with doing that.

Remember that we're talking the back-end database. No back door should be
required, since it only contains tables. You can easily copy the tables into
a new database if need be.
