Preventing linked tables

[Bryan]

Well, I thought I had my security pretty well set. I had everything
unchecked in startup, limited users accounts and disabled the shift key.
However, after I left on Friday, someone apparently needed to look at my
tables, because they did something I had not thought of; they created a new
DB and linked to my tables. By doing so, they no longer are bound by the
securities I had in place and can modify my data at will. Is there any way
to prevent this??

Deny access to your tables for all users (except yourself) and use RWOP
queries with appropriate permissions set. It also sounds as if you need to
remove permissions as appropriate to the "database" object.

If you have not followed an explicit list of written instructions -
adding and omitting nothing - then your database is almost certainly
*in*secure in one or more ways!

Did you follow a list of instructions?
