Same here, a strong 3 to a weak 2.  I've got two apps with tight security
and 3 others without/or use SQL Server for security.

I am rusty, but rate myself between a 2 and a 3.  We have implemented
a number of applications over the years at our institution using it 
and it has its good and its bad points, and it has limitations.

I'd like to take a poll regarding your knowledge of Access' built-in
security. By security I do NOT mean the database properties, rather using
workgroups / users to secure forms, tables, queries etc.

Anyone interested in participating please choose one of the following:

1) I am an Access security guru.  I can quickly and easily lock a database
down so tight I can't even get back in.  No help / books needed.
2) I am fluent with Access security.  I can get the job done but it
definitely takes a few hours.  I probably won't need the help / books.
3) I have done Access Security on at least one real paying project.  I would
need help / books to do it again.
4) I have heard about Access Security, read about it, managed to shoot a toe
off, maybe played around with it, but I am confident I could get the job
done.  Books / help definitly needed.
5) Access has built in security?  What is this and where would I go to learn
it?  Why haven't I ever seen these books / help?

If you would please just select a number and reply I would appreciate it.

As for myself, I must admit I rate a solid 4.  No client has ever been
willing to pay for it and I have always had other things to learn / do so I
just never did it (for real).
