Wayne, Split first, secure second, move to network third. The .mdw can be located on the network or on your hard drive. Since I deal with multiple versions of Access, I always set up a shortcut to each Access application as such. "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office10\Msaccess.exe" /wrkgrp "C:\Program Files\Common Files\System\ThisAppsSystem.mdw" "full path to ThisApp" Notice in the above that the version of Access is first specified, then the .mdw to use in trying to open the app, and finally the app itself. If you only have one version of Access, then you do not need the first part. If you have any other questions about securing your Access app, please come on back to the list and we will try to answer them.

I will keep at it though. I guess my main concern was whether I needed to secure the DB prior to splitting into FE/BE or after. Also when I set up the Workgroup with Wrkgadm.exe, is this done on the target network or prior to leaving my developing computer(not on the network)? Anyway thanks again! I will keep digging.

The Access Security FAQ is the place to start. After you have read it a few times, feel free to come back to the list with all your questions. Charles Wortz
