User Level Security

[Helena McCready]

I'm having a problem with my security mdw file.
Here are the steps that I've gone through:

I have created a new mdw file for my application
I've added users and groups
I've taken the admin user out of the admins group
I've added a password to the new admin of the dB
I then Join the database back to the system default file
in the MS Access Workgroup Administrator.
The problem is I can still get into the database via the
mdb file and it's defaulting back to the system mdw file
instead of the new one I created.

How do I link just my application to my new mdw file
without affecting the rest of the application running on
my PC?

Any help would be gratefully appreciated.

Thanks

Hi Helena,

You need to follow the steps outlined in the security FAQ available at

The steps you outlined (as they are) are not correct. Every step (every
phrase) is important. You must do it in proper order.
