MDE files and security

B

Barry

Hello,

I was just wondering: When converting a database to an
MDE file, is it best to run the Security Wizard and
secure the database before making the MDE, or after? Or
does it make any difference? Thanks in advance to anyone
who replies.

You should secure the mdb and then make the mde. If/when you need to make
design changes, you can only do that in the mdb. You wouldn't want to make
the change, create the mde, and then have to redo all the security, right?
