[AccessD] POLL: Access Security

Steve,

 <<Have you demonstrated to clients how to break the security? >>

  No as there is no need.  I simply show them the results of a google search
for cracking tools, mention that even Microsoft will tell you how if hard
pressed, and even if someone wanted to go the semi-legitimate route and pay
$45 or so, they can get at anything they want.

<<What would you show a client who had a bug up his rear about Access
"security?">>

  A. If they want security, use another product.
  B. If they still want me to do it, it's going to cost them lots both in
initial effort and maintaining it.

  B *always* wins<g>

Jim,

>> But as far as locking it so tight that even I can't get into it,
that's not possible as I know how to break it and I know it's not worth
bothering with it in the first place. <<

Have you demonstrated to clients how to break the security? I wonder if that
might be an effective argument for implementing Access security for one of
my clients who's been curious about it. I, as a 4.5 security user, am not
real excited about implementing Access security.

What would you show a client who had a bug up his rear about Access
"security?"
