> 2) I am fluent with Access security.  I can get the job done but it

> 3) I have done Access Security on at least one real paying project.  I
would

> 4) I have heard about Access Security, read about it, managed to shoot a
toe

> 5) Access has built in security?  What is this and where would I go to
learn

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