Hello,
I need to have a concept clear. maybe here someione can help me.
In few messages posted I have red that it is possible to have a secured
database accessed from other workgroup via 'admin' user.
I have red that since 'Admin' can't be deleted it is in any database and in
any wrkgrp.
In this way my secured database can be accessed from others by using a
different wrkgrp file (different from the one iused to secure my db).
I'm wondering. If this is true (which maybe surely not since i'm a bit new
in these security thing), since I'm talking about a SECURED database, if
others try to access my database using the default 'Admin' user, they should
be asked for the password for that user. Or not?

Thanks,
Rocco
 
While you can't delete the Admin user, when you secure a database, you're
supposed to remove the Admin id from the Admins user group. When you do
that, it doesn't matter whether they try to use a different workgroup or
not: they won't be able to get into your application.
 
Thanks Douglas,
May I asck you questione.
i have asked it many-many times....nobosy answered. Maybe it can sounds too
easy to know... but...
I have access97, access200, accessXP and access2003 all installed on my pc.
Any release is installed in its own directory.
I have always had trouble using the help file (F1 from VBE). Sometimes it
comes up in a blank windows…sometimes it shows a msg saying “no help
available on this
topicâ€, while “this topic†is - for instance – the adodb recordset. So
mostly of
the time it doesn’t help too much when a try to use it from the object
browser by pressing F1 (blank windows).
One of the most common inconvenient is not having any hint for ADOX. Let’s
say I want help for the ADOX columns collection. If while coding a stay with
the cursor over the word “connection†and press F1, I receive the worse help
possible: a blank windows. So I always have to ask for something more generic
(i.e. adodb connection) and then surf on the help contents for what I really
need.
I usually make a search for *.chm files and move the files I found into the
folder
1033 for having them available by the F1 command. Is this right? And...
Why I have all the ado libraries (i.e. ado 2.1, ado 2.5,…2.8 ) and just one
for adox (which is always the newer one: i.e. Microsoft ado ext. 2.8 for DDl
and security)? What if I want to code for someone that is not as updated as
me? I can reference ado 2.1 (If he has access2000 it will work fine) but I
cannot reference the previous adox versions (maybe I shouldn't).
I read many book but none spend more than few lines on how getting help.

There is any place where I could learn sometimes on how the help file is
organized and how to have any help available?
Thanks, I really appreciate.

Help in many versions of Access is a total mystery, so I'm afraid I can't
help you.
