Hide table designs and relationships?

Hi All,

I have a database app that I want to distribute. I've created MDE files
for the front and backend. Even though the code is hidden, if I open the
DB in Access (as opposed to the run-time) I can still see the table designs
and the relationships.

Although this isn't as critical as the VBA code that makes them do
wonderful things, I'd still rather that these be hidden. Is there a simple
way to do this?

Hi, Max.

To make programming maintenance easier, Access developers generally leave
the back end as an MDB file, since the only thing in the back end should be
the tables and relationships, not the database application objects that are
protected in the front end MDE file.

A similar question was asked last week. Here's the Google archive Web page:
