[AccessD] Access security question

They can if the BE is not adequately secured, which means at the least
that the admin user is stripped of permissions and put in the users
group rather than the admins group.

Subject: [AccessD] Access security question


Dear Group,

I've converted an application to Access 2000 for a client. This
application is running on single user workstations at about a half dozen
places around the U.S. The question my client has is this:  Lets say
that the tables in the BE have Access security invoked. If the FE/BE is
distributed in MDE format with Access Runtime, can a user with a
full-bore package of Access start the application, break out of it, and
wind up with all the tables available to him for editing, etc? This is
provided that the security is administered by the software so that the
actual security password is not known by the user. Only user names and
application passwords would be known.

Or is it even possible for the application to handle Access security
like this. That is, can Access security work without a user explicitly
typing in a password?

Thank you.
