Can anyone help me figure out how to save an access file as a password-protected file? It's obviously not as easy to do in Access as Word or Excel

Thanks!
 
That's a biggy, as it uses user/group permissions via an MDW file... There
are a number of steps that must be done (the main one is removing the
'admin' user from the 'Admins' group and giving that user NO permissions,
otherwise you can use the default SYSTEM.MDW file to attach to your
database, with administrator writes... A few people forget to do this)...

Anyway, since it isn't an easy process, you may want to try looking at;
