Hi,

I played around with MSAccess2000 sequrity and...well the rest you can
guess! Eventually I should delete all sequrity but thats for later. For now I
want to understand what is happening.

I started the sequrity-wizard from within a db that resides on a
network-share. After finnishing the wizard I cannot open any db from within
that net-share(but in different folders) without authenticating. Ok, I can
follow that.

But how come all my colleagues can still open all the db's in that
net-share? Are the sequrity-settings I made for my PC only?
 
Yes, you simply went in and set a password for the Admin user in *your*
workgroup file. Your other users are using their own workgroup file.

If you properly secure a database, they would not be able to open the file
using their workgroup files.

To properly implement security, you must follow all the steps in the process
in order. I'd make at least one backup of my database and workgroup file
before I played around too much. There are several links below that you
could read.
