Hi,

I have a split dbs, and i need to secure it: Define user
groups and authorization properties. I understand that
the user-level wiz is the option for it. What is the
process for the split db? i need to destribute the front-
ent application, to multiple users. should i expect any
problems ? or jsut a transfering the secured file will be
ok?
should i need to secure both back and fron end dbs?

tnx
 
I'm going to assume that you have split the db into the
following:
BE = tables only
FE = everything else, forms, reports, querys.
If you want to protect the data, you must secure the BE.
If you want to protect the forms, reports, etc, you must
secure the FE. If you want to protect both, secure both.
Do not use the Servers Operating System security to secure
the file between your users. That will only cause
problems.
 
Hi peter,
what does "Do not use the Servers Operating System
security " mean?

and if i use the "user-level" security, when i copy the
BE & the secured file to the users computers, will it be
updated automaticly to the new location or will it cause
problems?
