I noticed that when attempting to create an MDE file I was prevented because
of a permissions issue.
I set aside the current MDW file and recreated a new one.
I was then able to create an MDE of that MDB.

In a multi-user situation each user is joined to the same shared MDW file.
Does this mean that if an unauthorised person gets access to that shared MDW
they can replace it with another and so alter the permissions available to
an MDB front end?

If you can create a new MDW, not using the exact info used to create the
original one used to secure the database, then you have not followed the
security FAQ correctly, and your database is not secure.

A correctly secured database will not allow this.
