[AccessD] POLL: Access Security

Well I totaled up the scores today and of the ~50 people that replied we
average about a 3.4.  My questions of course are:

1) If you were VERY good would you not respond?  I'm guessing that most
would respond.
2) If you were clueless would you not respond?  I'm guessing many wouldn't
respond.

Thus I'm guessing that the true average of all our members is less than 3.4
rather than more than 3.4.  Even if we really do average 3.4, this indicates
that most of us (myself included) don't use Access' built in security, or
don't do so often.

Subject: [AccessD] POLL: Access Security


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).
