What was the purpose of the polling? Was it to give you an idea of how useful the LWS stuff you are working on will be? Just curious. Personally, the 'white paper' on Access user level security is a complete pain to try to understand. Anyone up for writing a better one? <grin> Drew -----Original Message----- From: John W.

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. John W.

Colby Sent: Wednesday, November 12, 2003 8:00 PM To: AccessD 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). John W.
