Database backend security

I have used Set Database password to secure the Backend of my application.
The problem is that when I try to open the Frontend I dont get an log on
screen in which the password for opening the backend database can be typed.

Is there a simple way of opening a Frontend database when the Backend
database is secured by a password ? I am using Access 2000
Thanks in advance.

It's likely that when you initially created the table links in the frontend
you were prompted for the password. That gets stored in the links, so you
wouldn't get a prompt subsequently.
 
I first linked the tables and then I added security to my backend so I was
never able to fill in the password for the linked tables. When I tried to
open the frontend it simply crashed because the tables could get linked.
Doing things the other way arround surely helped.
Thanks for your advice.
