[AccessD] Secured vs. Unsecured FEs

When I do independent contracting, that is exactly what I do ... Unless
the contract specfies otherwise.   I learned many years ago that it was
the only way to protect the application from "curious" users or those
who had taken a class in Access and were anxious to use what they
learned. <g>

How many independent contractors in the group 
provide the Access FE to their customers 
either as an MDE, or, as a secured MDB, so 
  (a) changes can't be made, and, 
  (b) the VBA is password protected?

I have my reasons for doing so,
(fixing some amateur's efforts to
 add an enhancement; protecting
 my not small investment in 
 training and upskilling; these two
 will do to start)
 
and of course there are arguments against.  

Can I have some input please.  Both sides
of the argument are welcome.

TIA
