MDW in Access 2007

M

MacDermott

I've been away for a while -
did a lot of work in Access up to 2000 - never really got up to speed on
2002, and have pretty much been doing other things since then,
but am now doing Access again, in what promises to be mostly 2003 and 2007.

Could somebody point me to some references on how security has changed?

TIA

This would be better asked in the Secuity newsgroup, where the answer will
be more complete.

microsoft.public.access.security

Essentially, user-level security is not changed very much (other than a nice
wizard) in MDBs. The new format in Access 2007, doesn't use user-lever
security.

The security wizard in 2000 was flawed, requiring you to manually secure instead.

The wizard in 2002 and 2003 was much improved - included *all* the necessary steps to do a complete job, and did it right. It provided 7 optional groups you could use; allowed you to set user passwords; printed out all the information for you. None of this was in previous wizards.

2007 uses a new file format - ACCDB which does not support user level security. You can also create a MDB format file in 2007, and this does support ULS.
