I have developed a database that will be used by a few people in the same
workplace and I would like to lock it so that no one can change the design or
how it works. What do I need to lock it down?

To lock down the logic, you can convert the MDB into an MDE (Tools |
Database Utilties).

To lock the database design, you're best off applying Access Security, which
isn't for the faint of heart! Here's a list of good references Jeff Conrad

Make sure you read the instructions carefully several times, work with a
copy of your application, and make sure you don't leave out any steps!
