Thank you, Charlotte.  I hope I didn't give the impression that I
thought there were not "ways around it".  I am saying that in practice,
I do not find I need to try and prevent people finding ways around it. 
In practice, I have found that removing the possibility of accessing the
Database Window from within the application UI has been sufficient.  Not
foolproof, but sufficient.

I have a couple of times had clients who wanted me to provide them with
the MDB rather than the MDE, and access to the Database Window, so they
could make their own reports and whatnot.  I have told them sure, no
problem, but that spells the end of my relationship with them, as I do
not support applications under those circumstances.

Anyway, I digress.  I would be interested to have a look at your
article, if possible?

Regards
Steve
