Securtiy

[Natalie Tate via AccessMonster.com]

I followed the Security FAQ. I created a work group I created different
accounts with permission, I used the Secruity wizard. But when I create a
shortcut to another persons computer it dosen't ask them to log in. I can't
figure out what step I'm missing.

Would you post the target for your shortcut?

This is the target for my shortcut on my desktop.

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office10\MSACCESS.EXE" "C:\Documents and
Settings\tatenn\Desktop\Test\CCletter.mdb" /WRKGRP "C:\Documents and
Settings\tatenn\Desktop\Test\Workgroup.mdw"

If you start a database via a shortcut using the /wrkgrp switch to
specify the workgroup file, and, the user is not presented with a
username/password screen, then, the workgroup file that you specified,
does not have a password on the admin user.

This would strongly suggest that you have not done the securing
properly.

HTH,
TC

The target looks as if it should work. So, that leads me to think that TC is
right -- the Admin user in your Workgroup.mdw file has a blank password.

In addition to that, the shortcut points to a database and workgroup file on
YOUR computer's desktop. How are the other users going to be able to get to
that?
