Everyone must be able to use the default sytem.mdw or they could never work
with/develop unsecured databases. The trouble is that you seem to have
missed a step in securing your application. 

Your next step is to re-read the bible...

Subject: [AccessD] System.Mdw Question


I have a database that is hooked to a security file of rd.mdw.  I just
discovered that if a user joins himself to the system.mdw file, he can do
whatever he darn well pleases.  How can I prevent a user from having the
ability to connect to the system.mdw?  Has anyone else had this problem?
Thanks!
