DB is inheriting permissions?

Hi. I'm running Access 2003 on XP. The application runs off a shared drive,
and users in our office are grouped into three Groups - Read Only, Full
Access and Admin. I had some security issues that a consultant helped me with
the other day (basically it turned out that users' locally installed versions
of Access weren't sourcing the correct security file). I sent all the users a
link to install on their desktops so the proper security file would be
available.

Now I have a new problem - all users have Admin-level access to the
database! When I first made the change and tested it, every time I opened the
database, I got a login box that allowed me to sign in under different LAN
IDs. Now the database just pops up, and the permission level is Admin. When I
messed around to try to figure out why, I got a message that Access is
inheriting permissions.

How do I change this?
How can I make sure that users get a login box each time they sign in?
Do I need to send users a new link to fix this?

What is in the shortcut? It may be that one or more steps have been missed
in the securing process. Did you follow the FAQ (link on my web site)?
