Securing a database best practice

what's the best way to secure an Access database and distribute on CDs, I do
not want users to have access to view code or tables

The easiest way is to make it into an MDE, this will prevent them from
viewing the code, but not the tables. If you must prevent them from viewing
the tables you will need to apply Jet Security - much more tricky.

that's what I have been doing . . . .

Can windows domain users be used as users of Access . . I don't want users
to log on to database . . the security should be based on the user name the
person used to log on to windows domain. . .

Kind regards,
