[AccessD] Who is linked to my back end?

Not for nothing, but, SOMEthing is writing that LDB and seems to know a bit 
about the access to the Db. I wonder if any fields in the system tables are 
storing access information? I must say, I have never really looked to see 
how the LDB file gets created, etc. -but it gives one pause,no?
