Prevent access to back end by front end

T

There is no easy way for the back end to know that someone has just
connected to it. So the answer is, "not really".

HTH,

We have 2 versions of our database, a 97 version and a
2000 version. Both run against a common back-end. We now
want to force everyone to use the 2000 version and so need
a way to detect the front end from the back-end and
prevent access if it is coming from the 97 version.

Any ideas on how this could be done?

Why not simply upgrade the backend to 2000? A 97 version frontend won't be
able to link to a 2000 version backend.

Sounds like a good solution! Thanks.
