I have gone through the user level security wizard and I thought i had
password protected one of my databases. It said to view i needed to close
access then open it again so i did. Now it says to logon and i have tried
all the users i set up in the wizard and none of them work. I then tried to
open a new database but it won't let me i still have to logon!! PLEASE HELP
it is for a GCSE in a week.

You don't mention the version, but try one of your usernames with a blank
password.

To ensure that you aren't asked to login for all databases, use the
workgroup administrator to join the standard system.mdw. It's usually
located in the windows system folder, but do a search for it first.

Then create a desktop shortcut for your secure database. The target would
have the following in it.

"path to msaccess.exe" "path to secure.mdb" /wrkgrp "path to secure mdw"
