Hello.
I've looked through a few of the threads to avoid repeating an issue that
may have already been covered, but did not see any.
I have a split FE/BE database that I would like to secure. My first
question is how do I secure both? I've only seen resoultions that address
how to split it AFTER the dbase has been secured.
My second question is a bit more complex.
The dbase is designed for a multiuser environment. The FE is on the user's
individual workstation. The BE resides on the network. I am constantly
making changes to the FE and so in order to make sure that each user is
working with the latest and greatest version of the FE, I use a program
(thanks to Tony Towes) that copies the "master" copy of the FE database and
puts it on the user's workstation. If I use the Security Wizard to secure my
database, I select the option that puts a shortcut to the "secure.mdw"
database on the desktop since one can not open the "secure.mdw" on its own.
How can I keep the latest and greatest FE on the user's workstation and still
keep it secure? Hope this makes sence.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
m.
