Oh don't get me wrong, I understood it, but I learned more about Access User Level security from 'trial and error'/expiramentation then I did directly from the white paper. Not really trying to bash MS. I think Access 97's is the best around, and I have actually gotten very adept at the MSDN too. So I know MS can write very helpful documentation. I just don't think the white paper on Access Security was up to par with MSes better stuff.
